Why was the Underground Railroad so successful?

The underground railroad was very successful because no slave owners knew about it. Also, there was no way for anyone to track the slaves, so the slaves could leave without anyone noticing. Another reason is that many people, including Harriet Tubman, helped the slaves along the way. Many people wouldn't have thought that slaves would be that smart so there was no suspicion.


Is the underground railroad a civil disobedience?

Yes, you could say it was a failure of citizens to support the law, though it was only the police who were obliged to arrest anyone who looked like a runaway slave.


Who went on the underground railroad?

The Abolitionists were the anti-slavery lobby, partly to do with the Quakers. They were not very numerous, but they were very vocal, and included some distinguished figures. The Underground Railroad was a system of safe-houses, by which slaves could be smuggled into Canada, where slavery was illegal. This was a response to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which obliged the general public to report anyone who looked like a runaway, on pain of a heavy fine. This greatly angered the Abolitionists, and Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' in response to it.


Did harriet Tubman ever tell anyone about freeing slaves or even making the underground railroad?

No, only other slaves and her husband . If she had told a slave owner or any white she would have been beaten badly or even hung.

Did the civil war begin because of the underground railroad?

Not directly. The Underground Railroad was the Abolitionist response to the Fugitive Slave Act, which demanded that members of the public must report anyone who looked as though they might be a runaway. It dramatised the growing difference between North and South, and the futility of the Act, which was meant to appease the South, in return for letting California join the USA as free soil, as part of the Compromise of 1850. It demonstrated, in fact, that the Compromise had failed, and this brought civil war closer.
