The Underground Railroad.

Imagine you are a slave in the South in 1850. You work six long, hard days a week, toiling in the fields of your master; it seems very unlikely that you'll ever be freed. Then, you hear from an old friend of yours who has escaped that he is now living in the North and wants you to join him in freedom. Do you dare? If you are caught the punishment will be severe, but if not, you can live in freedom. Who can you turn to for help?

The Underground Railroad may be defined as the organized effort to assist runaway slaves in their dash for freedom. Since slipping away from one's master was a hazardous step, most runaways required help. The underground railroad was the popular name for the process of receiving these fugitives, hiding them overnight and then conducting them to the next station en route to freedom.
