Many slaves fled the United States and settled in Canada by way of what?

  1. The Liberty Trail

  2. The Freedom Path

  3. The Underground Railroad

  4. The Emancipation Route

The correct answer is: The Underground Railroad

Many slaves fled the United States and settled in Canada by way of the Underground Railroad. This was a secret network of routes, safe houses, and individuals who helped enslaved African Americans escape to free states or Canada. This was not a single trail or path, but rather a series of routes that were constantly changing and were kept secret to avoid detection. The other options of the Liberty Trail, Freedom Path, and Emancipation route do not refer to any specific historical term or event and are therefore incorrect.
