Some negative effects that the Railroad caused were that if someone got caught they would certainly get killed or tortured. Secondly the enactment of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. This placed both escaping slaves and freedmen in jeopardy. Some legally-freed people of color were captured and ended up back in slavery. Last but not least it was hard to get a job once they got to freedom.
