Abolishment

The Underground Railroad helped approximately one hundred thousand enslaved people to find freedom.
“Conductors” were volunteers in the railroad system who would guide enslaved people up North.
The conductors and passengers traveled from safe-house to safe-house, often with 16-19 kilometers (10–20 miles) between each stop.
Due to the danger associated with capture, they conducted much of their activity at night.
Occasionally to escape getting caught, slaves would pose as white males who were injured or in need of help.
Over the years, Harriet Tubman had constructed numerous strategies for timing and how they would avoid getting caught by police.
The Underground Railroad was at the heart of the abolitionist movement.
The Railroad heightened divisions between the North and South, which set the stage for the Civil War.
Eventually, the thirteenth amendment finally abolished slavery in 1865.
