Best Answer

The underground railroad helped free about 75,000 slaves. Most went to Canada, which as a British territory did not permit slavery and did not allow sending slaves back. It is unclear how many of the 75,000 eventually came back to the United States after slavery ended. If a person is descended from one of those 75,000, perhaps he owes his very existence to the Underground Railroad people.
