The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by slaves to escape to free states or Canada.
Runaway slaves tried to avoid getting caught by seeking refuge in underground networks like the Underground Railroad, disguising their appearances, using false documents or identities, and sometimes living in remote areas or blending in with free Black communities.
Slaves escaped from their owners by using various methods, including running away, seeking help from the Underground Railroad, forging free papers, and disguising themselves. Some slaves were able to find sympathetic individuals or communities willing to hide and assist them in their escape.
Slave hunters used various codes to communicate about their activities. Some common codes included referring to slaves as "merchandise" or "cargo," using terms like "recruiters" for slave catchers, and mentioning "the underground railroad" as a secret network to transport slaves to freedom. These codes helped slave hunters evade detection and capture.
