The underground railroads routes were actually headed for the north,then as they traveled on the slaves eventually ended up in Canada.They traveled to many different places like Maine to Iowa, also routes in Pennsylvania,Ohio,and Indiana most traveled.Ohio was the main place the railroad passed though and nobody noticed.But not underground,the train ran though the woods,over fields, and across many different types of rivers.Most escaping slaves followed the north star or the moss on the trees. Many former slaves were conductors of the underground railroad. One of the most famous conductors is Harriet Tubman. She returned to the south millions of times to save her family and slaves.

Very good start. You need to be sure and answer the questions that you were given at the beginning of research. I wonder if there is a map that shows the routes.
