Question

How did abolitionists and african americans resist the fugitive slave avt?

Answer 1

Hey!

They created the Underground Railroad, which was a trail from the South to the North, and if a slave was lucky, they could get all the way to Canada where they could not be captured again. Harriet Tubman was a major contributor for smuggling slaves to the North, even though every time she went back down to the South, she risked being re-captured herself.

Hope this helps!
