The Reverse Underground Railroad is the name given, sardonically, to the pre-American Civil War practice of kidnapping in free states not only fugitive slaves but free blacks as well, transporting them to slave states, and selling them as slaves, or occasionally getting a reward for return of a fugitive. Those who used the term were pro-slavery and angered at an "underground railroad" helping slaves escape. Also, the so-called "reverse underground railroad" had incidents but not a network, and its activities did not always take place in secret. Rescues of blacks being kidnapped were unusual.

  • El Ferrocarril Subterráneo Inverso es el nombre dado, sarcásticamente, a la práctica de secuestrar en estados libres de los Estados Unidos no sólo a esclavos fugitivos sino también a negros libres antes de la Guerra de Secesión, transportándoles luego a estados esclavistas para venderlos allí como esclavos, o para conseguir ocasionalmente así una recompensa por el regreso de un fugitivo. Aquellos que utilizaron la expresión eran proesclavistas y estaban enfurecidos con el "ferrocarril subterráneo" que ayudaba a esclavos a huir de la esclavitud. También, el llamado "Ferrocarril Subterráneo Inverso" tuvo sucesos pero no una red, y sus actividades no siempre ocurrían en secreto. Los rescates de negros secuestrados eran inusuales. Los tres métodos de secuestrar fueron: el secuestro físico de negros libres, el embauque (secuestro a través del engaño) de negros libres y la aprehensión de fugitivos.​​ El Ferrocarril Subterráneo Inverso operó 85 años. Actuó de 1780 a 1865. El nombre es una referencia al Ferrocarril Subterráneo, la red informal de abolicionistas y simpatizantes que ayudó llevar a esclavos huidos a la libertad, generalmente a Canadá pero también a México​, donde la esclavitud había sido abolida.​ (es)

Those who used the term were pro-slavery and angered at an "underground railroad" helping slaves escape. Also, the so-called "reverse underground railroad" had incidents but not a network, and its activities did not always take place in secret. Rescues of blacks being kidnapped were unusual. Three types of kidnapping methods were employed: physical abduction, inveiglement (kidnapping through trickery) of free blacks, and apprehension of fugitives. The Reverse Underground Railroad operated for 85 years, from 1780 to 1865. The name is a reference to the Underground Railroad, the informal network of abolitionists and sympathizers who helped smuggle escaped slaves to freedom, generally in Canada but also in Mexico where slavery had been abolished.
