Their minds were focused on one goal:  freedom.\n\nWhen you set your mind on something, you achieve it.\n\nUnfortunately the owners took slaves for granted.  As a result, they were not prepared for traps.

I couldn't find any specifics, but since Elba is an island, he obviously used a boat of some sort. It also seems more than likely that the British aided him in his escape, if not directly (by actually supplying the means) then at least indirectly by supplying him information on the whereabouts of British navy ships, and "turning a blind eye" to what he was planning.\n See the site below for more.

Well,obviously they were stressed to even have to use them or even run away.There was danger of being caught and maybe killed,or at the very least,flogged or have their toes chopped off.But despite all this stress,it was even moreso to remain as slaves,some of them with bad masters.\n\nIf these Brave people had their ways,they would just as soon live in the state,city/town of their choice as Free Americans.

Must slavery be legal in order to be real?  Or would it not be better to have someone not even realize the extent of their servitude?\n\nPay alone does not erase slavery.  Control over one's destiny is the principal thing.

If your looking for historic info, look up slave trading routes. Slaves were stored in the bahamian islands before being brought to america, they worked the cane farms there.

in the days of slavery there wasnt a easy way to get to mexico , the slaves never ran into the southwest toward mexico, they ran into the north where if they made it they would have been considered free men

Yea, but there either needs to be another way out for them, or you must let them out when they request it, otherwise you are engaging in false imprisonment.

There were white slaves too no one ever mentions them and the freed black people had slaves too. If you show me someone who was an actual slave not just a decedent of one yes..my ancestors were slaves too and the people that want \nreparations are just to lazy to get jobs in my mind.\n\nhttp://www.revisionisthistory.org/forgottenslaves.html

The story is that in the days of slavery many were whipped to force them to work or perform tasks. Thus the skin would be flayed from their backs. If you were a slave who did as he were told you wouldn't be whipped although your companion may be, hence the phrase.

A trap is not a place but a situation.\n\nIt is when someone is tricked or fooled into believing in something or expecting something that was never meant to be, but rather a trap to get one ensnared into it grasp.

Originally it was set up as a penal colony for all prisoners. This was done by the English. Just ship them there is what they did by sailing.
