They made a plan to escape from their masters in midnight and left and ran away as far away from their master's. they were captured they would hit them with a whip and wash them with salt for escaping.
The Fugitive Slave Act caused the formation of the Underground Railroad.
No, because if they did do you think the slaves would escape at all, yeah that's what I thought!
The majority of slaves were not able to escape their owners and remained in slavery until the end of the Civil War.
The Underground Railroad wasn't a railroad at all, It wasn't even underground. The UnderGround Railroad is a series of houses and shelters where people take care of slaves when they are trying to escape from freedom. And it was hell. Picture escaped slaves running for their lives while their "owners" sent out execution parties fully equipped with weapons and dogs to track down the escaped slaves.
to escape there owners and go to freedom in Canada or other free states
I believe you mean what was the underground railroad used for. And the answer to that is, during slavery, it set people free because no slave owners knew about it and that is how slaves would escape from slavery/slave owners.

you are dumb you are really dumb !!
the underground railroad was assembled to help slaves escape from the south to the north. it was formed out of many non slave owners, who would hide escaping slaves in their house until the next night, when they could continue their journey north.
