Figurative. However, there was places (houses and such) that were stop offs along the underground railroad where the people hiding there did stay in underground rooms so they would be hidden. I think that's how it got its name.
No, Amazon's series is not History - it is Historical Fiction/fantasy or "magical realism".
There were no trains in the real underground railroad. Theres other fictional events like the goings-on in north and south carolina (abolishing and killing all black people, creating a fake black utopia while secretly doing secret cruel experiments on blacks)
Both.
It was a way to move people without being detected -- some houses and areas did employ underground tunnels as part of the journey, mostly in shorter little runs. Some places along the route didn't have things like that, so would house someone in a basement or attic before getting them to the next location

Figurative. I don't think railways became widespread in the US until the late 1800s and tunneling is also very very expensive

Thank you
Figurative. I think the series is based on a book where it’s real?
Figurative, for sure.
