Question

which statement describes the role of a conductor in the underground railroad? (1 point) they helped the southern states secede from the united states. they fought for a states’ rights to choose on the issue of slavery. they provided money, shelter, and directions for the people who escaped slavery. they helped reach compromises between both sides on the issue of slavery.

Explanation:

The Underground Railroad was a network to help enslaved people escape. Conductors in it provided support like money, shelter, and directions to those escaping slavery. The first option is about secession (not related to Underground Railroad conductors), the second is about states' rights on slavery (not the role of conductors), and the fourth is about compromises (not their role). So the correct statement is the one about providing support.

Answer:

C. They provided money, shelter, and directions for the people who escaped slavery.
