100,000 slaves escaped through the undreground railroad to freedom
50,000 slaves were reported to have escaped between 1830 and 1860.
no. the underground railroad was a secret (underground) chain of people who would help slaves reach freedom. the "railroad" part of the underground railroad was simply a way to refer to the chain of people that runaway slaves would stay with.
There was no underground railroad in other countries. The underground railroad was not a real railroad, but one that was a series of stops that moved escaped slaves north.
Depends on which slave. There was Harriet Tubman, and a lot of other different slaves that escaped on the Underground Railroad. Which was not actually a railroad, it was a series of safe houses that fed, clothed, and hid slaves. No matter what the cost.
The 'passengers' of the Underground Railroad were enslaved African Americans and 'conductors' were abolitionists(people against slavery). But remember, the Underground Railroad wasn't underground and wasn't an actual railroad
Pretty much, many slaves escaped to freedom because of the efforts of people to help them get to the north.
The underground railroad helped take escaped slaves away to the North where it was safe.

The Underground Railroad wasn't a literal railroad, so there were no tracks. It was a metaphor for the routes that escaped slaves took on their journey North.
The Underground Railroad was the name given to the system by which escaped slaves from the South were helped in their flight to the North. It is believed that the system started in 1787. The Underground Railroad was at its height between 1850 and 1860.
The slaves used either the underground railroad, or they found a crafty way to act like a free person.

Canada, which is north of the United States, was a good destination for escaping slaves. Canada did not return escaped slaves to their former owners.
