Runaway slaves escaped to freedom on the Underground Railroad through a network of secret routes and safe houses, where they were aided by abolitionists and sympathizers. They often traveled at night, using the North Star for navigation and relying on word-of-mouth signals to identify safe locations. Many faced significant risks, including pursuit by slave catchers, but their determination and the support of allies helped them reach free states or Canada. The journey was perilous, but the Underground Railroad provided a crucial lifeline to those seeking liberation.
