Some individuals opened their homes to escaping slaves out of a sense of moral obligation, empathy, or a belief in the immorality of slavery. Others may have done so as an act of resistance against unjust laws or to support the abolitionist movement.

Why do you think some people didn't want the slaves to be free?

Back then, slaves were vital in the southern economy. In order to harvest the massive plantations they had, slaves were the most efficient way. They worked for free! Plus, many people didn't think that slaves were people nor should they have rights. If slavery became illegal, they would need to get regular jobs for pay like all other people do. Freeing the slaves would also cause big issues for landowners. Not everybody could afford to hire help on their plantations.
