Some individuals opened their homes to escaping slaves out of a sense of moral obligation, empathy, or a belief in the immorality of slavery. Others may have done so as an act of resistance against unjust laws or to support the abolitionist movement.
Some people opened their homes to escaping slaves because they believed in the abolition of slavery and wanted to actively help those seeking freedom. These individuals felt a moral obligation to protect and support those fleeing slavery, often at great personal risk.
Masters were not kind to their slaves due to a belief in the superiority of their own race, a desire to maintain control and power over others, and economic interests that benefited from the labor of enslaved individuals. This unjust and oppressive system allowed masters to exploit and mistreat their slaves without consequence.
George Tucker believed that progress in human affairs, especially in education and economic opportunities, would lead to slaves becoming more aware of their own oppression and yearning for freedom. As slaves gained knowledge and economic independence, they would seek to break free from their masters and the system of slavery. This would inevitably lead to greater disconnection between slaves and their owners.
i think about 100000,0000 people
I think that would depend on where you are
Yes Being that slaves where people they do think. They thought about freedom.
Yes, African people are still slaves, there are people that control people that are not that powerful, because they think that just because they have more power then the other people, they think that they can control them, so you always have to remember that African people are not then only people that are slaves, in other countrys there are slaves too. Alway REMEMBER, that there are MANY slaves around the WORLD. :) Thxx :)
Abolitionists are individuals who advocate for the freedom and emancipation of slaves. They believe that slavery is a violation of human rights and work towards its abolition. Prominent historical figures such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and William Wilberforce were all abolitionists who fought against the institution of slavery.

The North had less use for slaves than the South did, and many Northern people helped slaves gain freedom.
The Europeans bought africans as slaves in the middle ages, and people think that slaves are almost lower than human. Its very sad, but it happened so long ago, and people are forgetting this.
I think you mean the Abolitionists. These were people who wanted the compulsory emancipation of slaves.

Back then, slaves were vital in the southern economy. In order to harvest the massive plantations they had, slaves were the most efficient way. They worked for free! Plus, many people didn't think that slaves were people nor should they have rights. If slavery became illegal, they would need to get regular jobs for pay like all other people do. Freeing the slaves would also cause big issues for landowners. Not everybody could afford to hire help on their plantations.
