The underground railroad was more successful in ending slavery compared to

the abolitionists way of ending slavery. This is true for many reasons such as

that Hariet Tubman helped 200 to 300 slaves in 79 trips escape from slavery,

the safe houses and conductors helped made it successful, and also, many

people helped the slaves escape from the south up to the north, mainly to

Canada.

Hariet Tubman became a specialist for the underground railroad after

escaping from Maryland into Pennsylvania. She made 79 trips from the

south up to the north and Canada. She helped 200 to 300 slaves escape and

be free. Many joined the airforce in Canada, and others worked in factories.

Robert Pervis also worked for the underground railroad. He had so

many good actions that he was known to be somewhat of a president for the

system.

Many people wanted to end slavery, so they helped the slaves escape

by letting the slaves stay at their houses, These were called safe housing.

Each house was called a station in which slaves would stop at on their way to

the north. The conductors were the leaders who helped the slaves escape.

Hariet Tubman was a conductor.

There were many ways in which the underground railroad helped end

slavery. So the underground railroad was very successful in freeing the

slaves.
