If i was a member of the undergroung railroad and a small group of runaway slaves has come to
my house to be hidded i will help them because it wasn't actually fair that people got to be slave

or to work for days and nights with no money or enough food and also get beat up if they did

something they wasn't supposed to be doing. And a group of runnung away slaves can come to


your house house to be hidden because they might be thinking that you are the only one that could help them out on the situation they are.

if you were a slave who was planning to runaway, what kind of plans would you make? How would you know when the time was right to leave?

If i was a slave who was planning to run away the kind of plans i would make is that trying to find anyplace that i could be or somewhere that i could get help. And i will also try to find some weapons so nobody is never going get you in trouble or if they might you just can kill them and leave. For me as a slave if i want to leave the time the i think to leave is at night because the slave catchers or the oversees might be in sleep and nobody is going see you because its at night.
