Why did the Underground Railroad run all the way to Canada and not simply stop in the northern free states?
Canada was then part of the British Empire. Great Britain officially banned slavery in the Empire in 1833. A slave reaching Canada was a free person. On the other hand, a slave found in any part of the United States or its territories had to be returned because of very strict fugitive slave laws.

Why did the slaves use the underground railroad?
To escape to Canada. They couldn't simply travel through the north because of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Part of the Compromise of 1850, the act said that Northerners were obliged to turn in runaway slaves to their southern owners. Fugitive means runaway. The abolitionists ran the underground railroad to help the slaves secretly (hence the term underground) escape to freedom.
Did the underground railroad exist before the civil war?
The Underground Railroad was a series of free blacks and Northerners who were against slavery that would guide slaves up to the North to Freedom. It wasn't an actual railroad, but at times it went underground to hide slaves. It was coined "Underground Railroad" so slave masters wouldn't know what it really was, and it was almost like a railroad. The main people who came directly to the slaves and guided them along the "Railroad" were coined "conductors". One very famous conductor is Harriet Tubman, also nicknamed "Black Moses".

Why did the underground railroad run all the way to Canada and not simply stop in the northens free states?
The Underground Railroad extended to Canada because many enslaved individuals sought complete safety and freedom from the threat of recapture, which was still possible in the Northern free states due to laws like the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Canada offered a more secure refuge, as it had abolished slavery and provided legal protection against slave catchers. Additionally, the presence of supportive abolitionist communities in Canada helped ensure a safe haven for those escaping slavery. This drive for total freedom motivated many to continue their journey northward.
Th underground railroad was success?
The Underground railroad was indeed a success. Founded and operated by Harriet Tubman, slaves escaping to the North were given aid and shelter en route to Canada where slavery was illegal. Tubman herself had been a slave but escaped. She and other abolitionists helped the slaves get free passage north to Canada. Help was also given by people who were not dedicated abolitionists, but simply saw the need for change and hope.
