Slaves attempted to free themselves through methods such as escaping, revolting against their captors, seeking assistance from allies or abolitionists, and participating in underground railroad networks to reach freedom in the North or in Canada. These actions were often dangerous and required great courage, but many slaves were willing to risk their lives for the chance to attain freedom.
