What Was the Underground Railroad? by Yona Zeldis McDonough, Who HQ, Lauren Mortimer No one knows where the term Underground Railroad came fromâthere were no trains or tracks, only conductors who helped escaping slaves to freedom. Including real stories about passengers on the Railroad, this book chronicles slaves' close calls with bounty hunters, exhausting struggles on the road, and what they sacrificed for freedom.
Not content to wait for laws to change or for slavery to implode itself, railroad activists helped individual fugitive slaves find the light of freedom. Harriet Tubman is sometimes referred to as the Moses of her people because of the way she led them out of slavery. The Underground Railroad operated at night. Slaves were moved from station to station by abolitionists. These stations were usually homes and churches â any safe place to rest and eat before continuing on the journey to freedom, as faraway as Canada.
