Did the fugitive slave act make the underground railroad illegal?
Answer 1No, because harriet tubman led some slaves secretly, they followed the north star and they never found out because they used code words.Answer 2No. The Underground Railroad was ALREADY illegal. People forget that a slave was a slaveowner's property. A runaway slave was treated like stolen or escaped property, the same way that a cow that runs away is escaped property. By facilitating a slave's escape, the "stations" on the Underground Railroad, were involved in theft of property. It happens that they were defying the law for a better moral purpose, but their actions were certainly illegal. The Fugitive Slave Act compelled Northern States to actually enforce the laws on the books for returning runaway slaves to the South. By necessity, then, the Underground Railroad extended all the way to Canada where there was no slave law in practice.
Why did the slaves use the underground railroad?
To escape to Canada. They couldn't simply travel through the north because of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

The abolitionists ran the underground railroad to help the slaves secretly (hence the term underground) escape to freedom.
