it was very had they did alot to get where they are now. she was a strong woman what no fear in life. but they rape and shot in her eye
the conductors are unknown but the first person to TRAVEL the underground railroad was Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman built the underground railroad for the slaves to take a path so the slaves could escape and their owners won't catch them or beat them. Its just like the song follow the drinking gourd and the slaves had to follow the north star and see the drinking gourds its really good if you travel at night because its easier and darker and the masters won't catch them.
Harriet Tubman, an escaped slave sought to help other escaped slaves to travel north and into Canada. This could not be done by here alone, she needed help. The Quakers largely supported and funded the Underground Railroad.
Very often escaped slaves were not safe living in the North because of the US Fugitive Slave Act. Also because some Northern US States were not friendly to escaped slaves. However, the leader of the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman, helped the escaped slaves gain refuge in British controlled Canada.
Harriet Tubman was a brave and very strong woman. She traveled very long ways to get herself, her family, and as much slaves as she could to freedom. She risked her life nineteen times as a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad. As I recall, she escaped to Pennsylvania from Maryland. No one really knows how many miles she had to travel to get to freedom when she escaped.

By foot, it is about 550 miles to St. Catherine's in Canada from Philadelphia. It is amazing that Harriet Tubman made this journey (and more) many times in order to escort slaves to Canada via the "Underground Railroad."
Harriet Tubman was an escaped slave who helped rescue other from slavery using the Underground Railroad, which was a collection of safe houses. Thousands of slaves were able to escape to freedom using this system.
Harriet Tubman avoided capture through careful planning, knowledge of the terrain, and a network of safe houses along the Underground Railroad. She used the cover of night to travel and employed various disguises to evade slave catchers. Additionally, Tubman relied on her understanding of the South and her connections with abolitionists, which helped her navigate and stay one step ahead of those pursuing her. Her resilience and resourcefulness played crucial roles in her successful missions to lead others to freedom.
Harriet Tubman and her group typically traveled at night to avoid detection while escaping to freedom via the Underground Railroad. The darkness provided cover, helping them evade pursuers and navigate through unfamiliar terrain. Weather conditions varied, but they often faced challenges such as cold nights or rain, which could hinder their journey but also helped mask their movements. Tubman's leadership and knowledge of the landscape were crucial in guiding them safely.
many northerners learned about slavery by personal contact with slaves.
