The underground railroad was very successful because no slave owners knew about it. Also, there was no way for anyone to track the slaves, so the slaves could leave without anyone noticing. Another reason is that many people, including Harriet Tubman, helped the slaves along the way. Many people wouldn't have thought that slaves would be that smart so there was no suspicion.
