People who help slaves escape are often referred to as abolitionists, conductors of the Underground Railroad, or freedom fighters. They risked their own safety to provide shelter, guidance, and resources to support enslaved individuals in their journey to freedom.
The act to help runaway slaves was called the Underground Railroad. It was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by abolitionists in the United States to help enslaved individuals escape to free states or Canada.
The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required people in all states to help slaveowners catch their runaway slaves by allowing for the arrest and return of fugitive slaves to their owners, even in free states. It also imposed penalties on those who aided or harbored fugitive slaves, making it a crime to assist escaped slaves.
The people who help runaway slaves are known as conductors or stationmasters on the Underground Railroad. They provided assistance and guidance to enslaved individuals seeking freedom by helping them navigate routes to safety and providing shelter along the way.
People helped runaway slaves for various reasons, including moral beliefs that slavery was wrong, empathy for the plight of the slaves, religious convictions, and a desire to support the abolitionist movement. Some individuals also helped runaway slaves as part of the Underground Railroad network, which aimed to aid escaped slaves in reaching freedom in the North.
They help them! But they don't get paid.
