The slaves saw the north as an escape from slavery during the early 1700's. Most of the slaves were owned in the south of the United States and a slave had a chance at freedom in the north.
there was a bunch of different volunteers, the most famous being Harriet Tubman. she led over 300 slaves to freedom on foot.
slave resistance on plantations was unsuccessful because the plantation owners were united and if a slave tried to escape they would help each other find him/her. another reason is because slaves were often too scared to resist, they would be made to watch others being punished (most common if whipping) or have been punished themselves.
