Who went on the underground railroad?

Answer 1

The Abolitionists were the anti-slavery lobby, partly to do with the Quakers. They were not very numerous, but they were very vocal, and included some distinguished figures.

The Underground Railroad was a system of safe-houses, by which slaves could be smuggled into Canada, where slavery was illegal.

This was a response to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which obliged the general public to report anyone who looked like a runaway, on pain of a heavy fine. This greatly angered the Abolitionists, and Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' in response to it.

Answer 2

the underground railroad was for the slaves to get to freedom in the northern states and Canada.
