The Quakers used the Underground Railroad to help enslaved individuals escape to Canada. They provided safe houses, transportation, and resources, often utilizing their networks to guide fugitives through various routes. Their commitment to abolition and equality motivated them to assist those seeking freedom from slavery. This humanitarian effort played a significant role in facilitating the escape of many African Americans to Canada.
