What is the Underground Railroad? The underground railroad was a secret passage way that slaves used to escape from their owners. They would stay at other peoples homes. At some homes they had special stitching on quilts that would tell the runaway’s that, that house was safe.

How long did it take to make the Underground Railroad? WE estimated that it took 2 to 3 yrs. To produce the underground railroad.

How did slaves identify the Railroad? Other slaves that have been to that house, may have written symbols on the fence post, that symbol that that house was safe for them to stay in. And there where songs that told them where to go.
