The Underground Railroad was primarily active during the mid-19th century, peaking in the 1850s. Its use declined significantly after the Civil War and the abolition of slavery in 1865 with the passage of the 13th Amendment. The network effectively ceased to exist as a formal system, as formerly enslaved individuals could no longer escape to freedom in the same way. However, the legacy of the Underground Railroad continues to resonate in discussions about civil rights and social justice.

There is no way to tell exactly how many slaves escaped using the underground railroad. This was a successful route to freedom for a great many.

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.
No it is known as the underground railroad as it was hidden from sight
