Laws in place, such as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, made it illegal to help runaway slaves by offering them refuge or assistance in escaping to freedom. Those who aided runaway slaves could face severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment.
People helped runaway slaves for various reasons, including moral beliefs that slavery was wrong, empathy for the plight of the slaves, religious convictions, and a desire to support the abolitionist movement. Some individuals also helped runaway slaves as part of the Underground Railroad network, which aimed to aid escaped slaves in reaching freedom in the North.
The Fugitive Slave Act.
The act to help runaway slaves was called the Underground Railroad. It was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by abolitionists in the United States to help enslaved individuals escape to free states or Canada.
Helping runaway slaves was dangerous because it was illegal under the Fugitive Slave Act, which required authorities in free states to help capture and return escaped slaves. Those found aiding runaway slaves could face fines, imprisonment, or violence from pro-slavery groups. Additionally, assisting in the escape of slaves challenged the institution of slavery itself, posing a threat to the established social order.
