Hi, I'm pretty sure that is because for many slaves, Canada represented a dream of freedom where slave catchers and lynch mobs couldn’t hurt them. Slaves on the Underground Railroad endured months, and even years, of living like fugitives while bounty hunters and racist government policies were always trying to impede their flight to freedom.
Most slaves started out their journey on the Underground Railroad (which wasn’t an actual railroad but more of a resistance and escape route that was heavily organized by concerned American citizens) by running away from their plantation in the middle of the night. Often the runaway slave was alone, but on many occasions whole families would escape together.
Hope it helps you.
Catholics of England and Ireland settled in New England territories such as Maine and Massachusetts.
It was first the email system, and then the internet which gave us access to information despite taking longer time to respond, and then websites which helped business and private individuals, then mobile phones making communication easier, then social media where its about describing yourself and communicating through photos and stuff, then smartphones which not only helped in the communication system but also online banking, online shopping etc, and then Skype with which we can now have a video conference with colleagues and families no matter where they are.
