What places did the runaway slaves stay in the north?

Runaway slaves in the North often sought refuge in various locations, including free black communities, abolitionist homes, and churches that supported the Underground Railroad. Cities like Philadelphia, New York, and Boston provided safe havens, where they could blend in with free black populations and receive assistance. Additionally, some found shelter in rural areas with sympathetic farmers who opposed slavery. These places offered not only physical safety but also opportunities for employment and community support.
