What is the 'Underground Railroad'?

  1. A Christian anti-slavery network that helped thousands of slaves escape from the United States

  2. A railway system underground in Canada

  3. A smuggling route during Prohibition

  4. A network of caves used during the War of 1812

The correct answer is: A Christian anti-slavery network that helped thousands of slaves escape from the United States

The Underground Railroad was a secret network of people, both black and white, who helped enslaved African Americans escape to freedom in the northern states and Canada. It was not a physical railroad, but rather a series of safe houses, secret routes, and cooperation between abolitionists and sympathetic individuals. This network was used to help thousands of slaves escape from the United States to Canada, where slavery was abolished in 1834. B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose or use of the Underground Railroad. It was not a physical railroad or a smuggling route, and it was not used during the War of 1812.
