The Underground Railroad was not an actual railroad. It was a route that helped slaves escape their cruel masters and guided them to freedom in the North where slavery was not allowed. There were many "conductors", or people who helped guide the slaves from house to house safely. The journeys took place at night, when the slaves day work was done, so that they were less likely to get caught.
