The Underground Railroad used escape routes that went throughout the South. Based on that fact, which of the following conclusions could be made?

Question

A) The southern states were leaning toward emancipation
B) Slaves were hopeful to acquire jobs in Northern industries
C) There were sympathetic individuals throughout the south who helped
D) The slaves headed west in the hopes of acquiring cheap land and jobs

Answer 1

The South wouldn't have fought a war if they were leaning toward emancipation.

Slaves mostly only knew farming, they knew nothing about factory work.

That leaves two answers left. Which do you think is the right answer?

Answer 2

So D

Answer 3

I believe you are right on D, because slaves who traveled through the underground railroad were giving up their work to receive their freedom.
