Underground Railroad - http://www.worldbook.com/fun/aajourny/html/bh040.html Underground Railroad was an informal system that helped slaves escape to the Northern States and Canada during the mid-1800's. The system was neither underground nor a railroad. It was called the Underground Railroad because of the swift, secret way in which the slaves escaped.
