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.
The escape network was not literally underground nor a railroad. It was figuratively underground in the sense of being an underground resistance. It was known as a railroad by way of the use of rail terminology in the code. The Underground Railroad consisted of meeting points, secret routes, transportation, and safe houses, and personal assistance provided by abolitionist sympathizers.
