Once escaped slaves reached Chicago, many followed the Underground Railroad, which often involved traveling north to Canada for ultimate freedom. They typically moved through various routes that included stops in abolitionist safe houses, often in nearby states like Michigan or Wisconsin. Some traveled along the shores of Lake Michigan, while others utilized trains or boats to navigate their way to freedom in Canada, where slavery was prohibited.

Why did African American partiots that the revolution would end slavery?

In November 1775 congress excluded African Americans from enlisting. This was done out of sensitivity to the opinion of southern slave owners. Yet, when the British offered freedom to any slave who would join them the decision was reversed. Altogether 5,000 free blacks and slaves served in the Continental army during the revolution. By 1778 many states granted freedom to slaves who served in the Revolution. Many slaves also escaped and in Georgia alone 5,000 slaves escaped. In South Carolina a quarter of the slaves escaped to freedom.
