[In the early years of Kansas Territory many slaves came through Kansas on their way to freedom. The informal network that aided these formerly enslaved people in their escape attempts was dubbed the Underground Railroad. While this path was not a railroad, nor underground, it did convey the people from South to North in a secretive manner. Created by abolitionist sympathizers, it is impossible to know how many people escaped through this system. Its success depended on secrecy. The Underground Railroad was made up of a series of safe houses, which would take in escapees on their journey. These houses offered protection and often covert transportation to African Americans. Those who participated were placing themselves at risk. Fines were levied when participants were discovered. The black people who participated, whether free or escapee, risked being sent back to slavery. Despite these risks many Kansans chose to offer aid. Many abolitionist groups and churches such as churches, especially the Society of Friends (Quakers), Congregationalists, https://www.facebook.com/TravelKS/videos/334286794585945 Wesleyans, and Reformed Presbyterians; American Indians, former enslaved people, and free blacks. States pursued their own escapees, although Northern states were required to assist in capturing runaways. Escapees traveled mainly by foot or on wagon, heading northward from station to station. Routes were sometimes indirect to avoid detection. A number of escapees found asylum in Canada. ]
