The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by enslaved African Americans to escape to free states and Canada in the 19th century. It was not a physical railroad but rather a series of clandestine paths facilitated by abolitionists and sympathizers. Key figures, such as Harriet Tubman, played a crucial role in guiding escapees to safety. The operation relied on secrecy and community support, highlighting the profound desire for freedom and resistance against slavery.
