The Underground Railroad was a secret highway that ferried Black Americans to freedom before and during the Civil War. According to John Rankin, the network was named “because they who took passage on it disappeared from public view really as if they had gone into the ground.”

Those who worked on the Underground Railroad played several roles. “Conductors” were responsible for leading escaped slaves to “stations” which consisted of safe houses owned by free Black Americans or White abolitionists (often Quakers). These “station masters” risked it all to help former slaves find their freedom, as, in many cases, the law required fugitives be returned to their enslavers. Station masters used their own money to provide food, clothing, and even medicine to their “passengers.” Some churches and other groups donated money and supplies, too.
