What If… THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD WASN’T FORMED?

The article discusses the significance of the Underground Railroad in the abolitionist movement and its potential impact on the civil rights movement. The Underground Railroad was an unofficial network of abolitionists who assisted enslaved people in escaping from slavery by providing them with food and safe havens. The movement played a crucial role in resisting slavery and challenging the plantation system. Without the Underground Railroad, it is unlikely that the abolitionist movement would have been as successful, and it served as an inspiration for later movements for racial equality, such as the civil rights movement in the 20th century.
