Fugitives fleeing from slavery in Kentucky, Missouri, and points farther south traversed the entire state of Illinois while moving northward. But they were most likely to receive help from Underground railroad operators if they passed through western Illinois. This briefly discusses the Underground Railroad throughout the US and all of Illinois, but addresses at length the activities of Underground Railroad operators, both black and white, in western Illinois.
