What is the Underground Railroad and why was it created? A woman named Harriet Tubman created the Underground Railroad to help slaves escape plantations. It was created to free slaves from slave owners. What Harriet Tubman did for hundreds of slaves was a brave and courageous thing to do. If it was not for her, the Underground Railroad would not have existed. All of the slaves that used the Underground Railroad to escape to freedom, would still be in plantations, working as slaves. With Harriet Tubman’s foresight into helping fellow slaves escape from boundage, the Underground Railroad became a formidable event in American history.

Before the Underground Railroad, slaves had no hope for freedom. Plantation owners were abusive to the slaves.
