After escaping slavery, people still faced numerous dangers, including:

Recapture: Slave owners and slave catchers actively searched for escaped slaves and could capture and return them to slavery.

Violence: Escaped slaves were often hunted down and subjected to physical violence or even killed by those who supported slavery.

Discrimination: Once free, former slaves often faced discrimination and were denied access to basic rights and services, such as education, employment, and housing.

Poverty: Many escaped slaves had few resources or opportunities, which made it difficult to support themselves or their families.

Separation from family: Escaped slaves often had to leave their families behind when they fled, and were often unable to reunite with them after gaining their freedom.

Overall, escaping slavery was only the first step towards freedom, and former slaves faced numerous dangers and challenges as they tried to build new lives for themselves. Despite these difficulties, many former slaves persevered and made significant contributions to their communities and to society as a whole.
