Some dangers escaped slaves faced included being captured and returned to their owners, encountering hostile individuals or groups who opposed their freedom, and facing harsh living conditions, such as lack of shelter, food, and resources while attempting to reach freedom. Additionally, they were at risk of injury or even death while navigating unfamiliar territories and evading pursuit.
Runaway slaves faced numerous dangers, including physical harm from slave catchers or bounty hunters, harsh weather conditions, lack of food and shelter, and the risk of being turned in by sympathetic slaves or free individuals. Additionally, slaves who were caught faced severe punishments, including whipping, branding, or even death.
Slaves who escaped were often referred to as fugitives, runaways, or freedom seekers. Some escaped slaves were also called maroons, particularly those who formed independent communities in remote areas.
Fugitive slaves faced punishment if caught, including beatings or being returned to their owners.
