Chapter+10+Brown



The Underground Railroad was a series of secret tunnels and safe houses used to transport slaves to freedom. It was aided by fellow slaves, allies and abolitionists. Over 100,000 slaves escaped through the "Railroad". A popular destination was present day Canada because of the large border and many crossing points which led into the slave free country.
