What is an underground road called?

Answer 1

Just as there are railroads there are railroad stations. In the big cities, the majority of slaves would stop to rest, get food, and prepare to continue their journey for freedom farther beyond the Northern areas of the United States.

Such places were considered, "stations." For many slaves decided to run and settle in Canada, which slavery was forbidden, and the slaves knew that they would be free forever.

So, as an example, a slave who ran away from his master in South Carolina, had to go along way to make it to the Canadian border.

Therefore, the stations, would help him on his journey, as he would reach the larger cities.
