Description
The underground railroad was not a transportation system with metal tracks and whistiling trains that zipped along a grid of tracks through tunnels below the ground. Instead, this system was an organized network of people who-in utmost secrecy-helped others escape the bonds of slavery. The routes to freedom were filled with danger, but the risks were worth it. Climb aboard to travel back in time and find out how this system of "passengers", "conductors", and "stationmasters" saved thousands of lives and helped change the nation.
