During the Underground Railroad, candles served as a crucial source of light for escaping enslaved individuals and their allies while navigating dark spaces and hidden routes at night. They provided discreet illumination to avoid detection by patrollers and slave catchers. Additionally, candles were used to signal safe houses or locations, allowing fugitives to find refuge along their journey to freedom.
