Confederate soldiers were often isolated from the broader social movements and networks operating in the North, including the Underground Railroad. Many were focused on the immediate realities of war and may not have been fully aware of abolitionist activities or the extent of the Underground Railroad. Additionally, the secrecy surrounding the Underground Railroad, with its reliance on covert support and communication, made it difficult for those outside of abolitionist circles to gain accurate information about its operations. This lack of knowledge was compounded by the Confederate government's Propaganda, which often downplayed the significance of abolitionist efforts.

Did the underground railroad exist before the civil war?

The Underground Railroad was a series of free blacks and Northerners who were against slavery that would guide slaves up to the North to Freedom. It wasn't an actual railroad, but at times it went underground to hide slaves. It was coined "Underground Railroad" so slave masters wouldn't know what it really was, and it was almost like a railroad. The main people who came directly to the slaves and guided them along the "Railroad" were coined "conductors". One very famous conductor is Harriet Tubman, also nicknamed "Black Moses".
