Well there are so many important events in her life. One is that she made the Underground Railroad, to help slaves escape to Canada. She was also a slave her self, but she escaped. She is a historic figure. You can learn all about her if you go to Chicago. In Chicago there is a museum of the Underground Railroad. It also has some interesting facts about Harriet Tubman.
Levi Coffin was known as the president of the underground railroad because he sheltered over 3,000 slaves over the years.

100,000 slaves escaped through the undreground railroad to freedom 50,000 slaves were reported to have escaped between 1830 and 1860.
True.
The Underground Railroad was the name given to the system by which escaped slaves from the South were helped in their flight to the North. It is believed that the system started in 1787. The Underground Railroad was at its height between 1850 and 1860.
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.
The underground railroad helped take escaped slaves away to the North where it was safe.
Slaves wanted their freedom. Many escaped to Canada.
Yes, She Escaped Them To The Underground Railroad. (:
There was no underground railroad in other countries. The underground railroad was not a real railroad, but one that was a series of stops that moved escaped slaves north.
The Underground Railroad wasn't a railroad at all, It wasn't even underground. The UnderGround Railroad is a series of houses and shelters where people take care of slaves when they are trying to escape from freedom. And it was hell. Picture escaped slaves running for their lives while their "owners" sent out execution parties fully equipped with weapons and dogs to track down the escaped slaves.
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.
The Underground Railroad wasn't a literal railroad, so there were no tracks. It was a metaphor for the routes that escaped slaves took on their journey North.
Slaves escaped from the south using the underground railroad during any season. The most common times were at night, or early morning, in winter-spring.
