The Underground Railroad wasn't really a railroad. It was a name given to the way that people escaped. No one is real sure where it originally got its name, but the "underground" part of the name comes from its secrecy and the "railroad" part of the name comes from the way it was used to transport people.~It was formed in the early 19th century, and reached its height between 1850 and 1860. About 100,000 slaves had escaped through the "Railroad".
African American slaves may have used a quilt code to navigate the Underground Railroad. Quilts with patterns contained secret messages that helped direct slaves to freedom.Many say this is a myth, however, due to the fact that there are no quilts that remain.
