Why was it called
the Underground
Railroad?
Copyright©2012 Cara E. Taylor ~Creative Playgrounds~ Copyright©2012 Cara E. Taylor ~Creative Playgrounds~
The term Railroad was used because
on this railroad, the slaves were
called “Passengers.”
Those that helped to guide the
slaves were called
“Conductors.”

their journey to freedom.
The safe houses
helped keep the slaves
fed, clothed, and offered them shelter.

Slaves hid in old barns and under
hay covered wagons while on
the run.

hideaways in the Station houses.
