The Underground Railroad was a secret network of routes and safe houses that aided African American slaves in escaping from slave states in the South prior to the Civil War. Abolitionists — some vocal opponents of slavery and other simple, quiet empathic citizens — provided housing, food, transportation, and secrecy, helping freedom seekers navigate to freedom in Canada.
