The slaves were trying to escape to free states (states which didn't have slavery) and Canada, where slavery was illegal. One important person who helped this operation was Harriet Tubman.

1850s why did many escaped slaves flee to canada?
Many escaped slaves fled to Canada in the 1850s primarily due to the promise of freedom and the absence of slave laws.

Canada, with its strong anti-slavery stance and established networks like the Underground Railroad, offered a safe haven for those seeking to escape the brutality of slavery. Additionally, Canada’s legal framework did not recognize slavery, providing a more secure environment for former slaves.
