1 The Underground Railroad provided the African Americans the opportunity and assistance for escaping slavery and finding freedom. One of the characteristics of the Underground Railroad was its lack of formal organization. http://education.ucdavis.edu/NEW/STC/lesson/socstud/railroad/whatis.htm

2 The Underground Railroad was a network of paths through the woods and fields, river crossings, boats and ships, trains and wagons, all haunted by the specter of recapture. The slaves flight to freedom was made possible by the men and women who believed that everyone should be free. http://education.ucdavis.edu/NEW/STC/lesson/socstud/railroad/whatis.htm
