6. Running away When slaves ran away, they wanted to run North. All children and adults ran away because of all of the harsh punishment. Being beaten and forced to do things. Slaves would look for Harriett Tubman who led them through a secret passage that allows them to end up in the north. About 2/3 of the slaves would run away alone, and 1/3 ran away together. The mojority ran away alone because it would have been hard to see just 1. In a group it would be so easy to tell where they would be heading and way to easy to find.
