Some white people did not want to help the slaves because they were afraid of being persecuted, they agreed with slavery or they were disinterested by the idea of slavery and therefore felt no need to help slaves. However, the answer depends on what you mean by 'help the slaves'. Because it could denote fighting against slavery or helping slaves escape.

Helping slaves escape slavery was illegal because it went against the laws in place at that time, which upheld and protected the institution of slavery. Slave owners and lawmakers saw such actions as interfering with their property rights and economic interests. Additionally, there were severe penalties for those found aiding in the escape of slaves.
