What was the Underground Railroad and what did it do?

The Underground Railroad was neither underground nor was it a railroad. It was a secret route which was used by white and black abolitionists to free slaves. The abolitionists were called conductors. They led the slaves to the North or Canada. In between the route, there would be stations where slaves could eat and rest. The stations are either home's of abolitionists, churches or even caves. They sometimes used code words to talk to each other, like "heaven" would be the North or Canada. There were many conductors, like John P. Parker and Harriet Tubman. This was a dangerous journey and some slaves have been killed and some have been returned to their owners. More than 30,000 people were freed through this secret route and 500-1000 slaves were killed

What is the history of This Train is bound for glory hymn?

Guthrie apparently wrote different lyrics. But this song was a slave song with code words for escaping via the Underground Railroad.


What was the importance of code words and songs on the underground railroad?

Code words and songs on the Underground Railroad served as vital tools for communication and secrecy among escaped slaves and their allies. They allowed individuals to convey messages about safe houses, routes, and dangers without alerting slave catchers or others who might be hostile. Songs like "Follow the Drinking Gourd" contained coded directions for navigation, while code words helped maintain discretion in conversations. This clever use of language and music was essential for the survival and success of those seeking freedom.


Were there any code words used in the Underground Railroad?

Yes the Underground Railroad was a code word itself, so the Masters didn't know what it meant when the slaves mentioned it. They also used names like conductors and passengers like an actual railroad.
