Because slavery was legal throughout the U.S. and runaway slaves found anywhere were legally supposed to be returned to their owner. The underground railroad, run by abolitionists, gave them transportation and places to hide while they were on the run.
to hide is to not be seen.
A difficult and dangerous trip north to Canada became the dream of many slaves seeking freedom. Eventually a rescue route called the Underground Railroad was developed to help these runaways find freedom. But even with this route there were dangers around every corner. This unit study follows the trek of some of these slaves as they fight their way to freedom. With no maps and no clear directions the fugitive slaves would travel on foot through forests, sometimes they would hide in wagons to travel by day and through towns and then there was the waterways where they would wade, swim, raft and ferry across! The Great Lakes divided Upper and Lower Canada (now Ontario and Quebec) with the United States. There were only a few places where the lakes could be crossed. Slave hunters knew this and so they kept an eye on these towns. With the North star as their guide, fugitive slaves headed north, with hopes to find Canada and freedom. Since runaway slaves traveled at night so as to avoid capture, the North star was the easiest guide to follow. But what about cloudy nights when the stars were hidden? Sometimes they had a compass to help them find their way but other times they had to rely on other means of determining which way is north.

Safe houses where people would protect/hide runaway slaves.
Quaker Thomas Garrett helped hide runaway slaves in his home and in local businesses in Wilmington, Delaware. He also worked with other abolitionists and conductors on the Underground Railroad to provide food, shelter, and assistance to escaped slaves on their journey to freedom.
Runaway slaves received help from abolitionists, free Black communities, and Native American tribes who provided shelter, food, and guidance along the Underground Railroad. Some sympathetic individuals would hide or transport escaped slaves to freedom, often at great risk to themselves. Additionally, churches and secret societies like the Quakers and the Masons played a role in supporting runaway slaves on their journey to freedom.
A runaway slave COULD hide in the open, although it often was much too risky. If they saw a patchwork design that showed bowties than they knew that there were enough free slaves living there that, if they got some decent clothes, they would probably be mistaken for a freed slave.
Runaway slaves in the United States went to various locations, such as cities in the North, Canada, or even to remote areas to hide. Some sought refuge with Native American tribes or found support from abolitionist networks that helped them escape to freedom.
