To: Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court  The Underground Railroad was perhaps the most dramatic protest action against slavery in United States and Delaware history. It was a clandestine operation that began during the colonial period, later, became part of organized abolitionist activity in the 19th century, and reached its peak in the period 1830-1865.
The story of the Underground Railroad is one of individual sacrifice and heroism in the efforts of enslaved people to reach freedom from bondage.
