Slaves were afraid of running away due to harsh consequences like physical punishment, capture, and potential death if caught. They were often separated from their families and communities, making escape difficult and risky. Additionally, slaves had limited knowledge of the outside world and uncertain prospects for survival without support.
William Wells Brown helped slaves escape by using his position as a lecturer and writer to spread abolitionist ideas, as well as working closely with the Underground Railroad to assist slaves in their journey to freedom. He also used his writing to draw attention to the issues of slavery and encourage others to take action in supporting the abolitionist cause.
It took slaves an average of 15 months to escape if they started at the beginning of the Underground Railroad. The escape route was 234 miles long.
Slaves wore chains as a form of physical restraint and control. Chains were used to prevent slaves from escaping, resist resistance, and maintain domination over them. This practice was a dehumanizing method of control and oppression.
When slaves escaped their owners and plantations, it took a lot of planning. When the slave did escape it took anywhere from several weeks to several months.
The Grimké sisters, Sarah and Angelina, were abolitionists and women's rights advocates who made a significant impact on the movements for both causes in the 19th century. They used their privileged background and public speaking platforms to advocate for the rights of enslaved people and women, and challenged societal norms by speaking out against slavery and the subjugation of women. Their writings and speeches helped to raise awareness, inspire others, and advance the causes of abolition and women's rights.

The conductors guided runaway slaves to the north to where they could live a free life, some slaves even went to Canada to escape the slave owners.
The "Slavers" would take buckets of water and splash it over the slaves.
the underground railroad is not actually a railroad, but a escape system back in the 1800's to help slaves escape. it was not fast, and it could sometimes take the slaves months to get to the north. they were after all, hiding in houses and traveling at night. (so don't try to see if you can get a ticket on the underground railroad!)
If you were traveling West over a distance of a 1,000 miles you would take the basic tools. Tools to repair your wagon or handcart would be the most important. Tools for farming would be the next. Therefore I would take: Knife, awl, saw, axe, shovel, etc.
you would have to take them as part of normal luggage.
