What was the purpose of the underground rail road?

The underground railroad began during the period when slavery in the south still existed. There were slaves that had escaped from the south to the north of the Mason-Dixon Line which was a safe place for them. These slaves and some sympathizers in the north were responsible for helping slaves escape from their masters in the south. The underground railroad was a network of homes or other structures where slaves could be held safely until they could move on to the next destination. The slaves were fed and cared for while staying in these "safe houses." A slave would travel through the network of safe houses until he or she reached the north where slavery was illegal and they could stay safely in the open.
