Underground Railroad
The Underground Railroad was established by the escaped slave Harriet Tubman. From 1852 until the beginning of the US Civil War, she headed this secret route whereby escaped slaves could find help and housing in their journey to most often Canada, where slavery was illegal. Groups of Northern abolitionists were part of her group that believed slavery was immoral and should be abolished. In a small way Tubman also assisted John Brown and his takeover of the US arsenal at Harper's Ferry.
