How did the underground railroads look like?
The Underground Railroad was a network of escape routes that were described using railroad terms. 'Passengers' were runaway slaves fleeing from the South. Their guides were called 'conductors' and they led them from one 'station' to another. Escape routes stretched from the southern slave states into the North and on to Canada. Fugitives usually traveled secretly at night, and were hidden in 'safe houses', barns, and haylofts in the day. Thousands of antislavery campaigners, both black and white, risked their lives to operate the railway. There was no "map" as the people involved had to keep everything secret. Directions were passed orally from person to person as the need arose.
What are some ways that people on the underground railroad kept their work?
People involved in the Underground Railroad used various methods to maintain secrecy and protect their operations. They employed coded language and songs to communicate safely, often using specific terms to refer to safe houses and routes. Conductors and station masters relied on trusted networks and established signals to guide fleeing enslaved individuals without attracting attention. Additionally, they often kept detailed records hidden and used disguises to blend in with the community.
How did the underground railroad affect slavery?
An organized system to assist runaway slaves seems to have begun towards the end of the 18th century. In 1786 George Washington complained about how one of his runaway slaves was helped by a "society of Quakers, formed for such purposes." The system grew, and around 1831 it was dubbed "The Underground Railroad," after the then emerging steam railroads. The system even used terms used in railroading: the homes and businesses where fugitives would rest and eat were called "stations" and "depots" and were run by "stationmasters," those who contributed money or goods were "stockholders," and the "conductor" was responsible for moving fugitives from one station to the next.

What are some secret codes used during the underground railroad?
The simplest use of codes on the UGRR (underground railroad) was the use of railroad terms while speaking of runaway slaves. For example, the word, "conductors" reffered to people who lead slaves to safety. Safe places and homes where fugitives could stay and eat were know as "stations." The owners of these homes were known as "station masters." The escaping slaves on the UGRR were known as passengers, baggage, or parcels, like on a real train. Grown slaves were known as large parcels, and children were known as small parcels. America's first railroads were introduced around the 1830's, and this is when these terms were introduced. The "underground" part was added due to the secrecy of the work. Songs were also used as secret codes on the UGRR. These songs were sung among slaves as a way of communication and siganling to eachother. Different songs ment different things. The song, "Follow the Drinking Gourd," reffered to a cluster of stars that helped slaves point out and follow the North Star. Conductors had "all-clear" and other types of songs to signal to their passengers. People listening in to these songs would not know the meaning behind them. People used lanterns, and whistles to signal to slaves as well.

What caused antislavery feeling grew?
Well, Antislavery grew when people decided Slaves no longer had any use. Many ran away, with the Underground Railroad. This is just a name, though. There wasn't really any railroad!(: It was terms used to disguise what it really was. Slaves used this to run away from their slave owners. They used terms like Conductor, for a leader. Passenger for Slave. Make's sense, right? They used escape routes like using the Horse and Buggy and others just went by foot. Those didn't make it far.. Sadly...Hope this Helped!!(:
