Slaves had many reasons to escape, but still many decided not to. Why was escape a difficult decision to make for slaves?

Trying to escape was a difficult dicision for slaves because they knew that if they failed to escape it would lead to certain death or at least harsh punishment. Even if they did escape there would be a big chance that there loved ones would be punished instead and this stopped a lot of slaves from even trying.

For slaves was it a difficult decision to make, because they knew if the got caught they would get sentenced to life. Also if they got away the family that they left behind would be several punished.
This are the main reasons why the slaves didn't try to escape.

It was difficult to decide to escape because the risk was too big to be caught and if you get caught you were get punishment or worse. And if you succeeded in escape, was thrilling not be betrayed and hope that you collected will flee by helpful people if you go to the north.

Most slaves didn’t try to escape. New systems of surveillance were in place, failure could bring whipping or even death, families of successful fugitives were abused, rumors had Yankees putting fugitives in irons, sending them off to slavery in Cuba, and committing acts of the “most beastly and infamous character” against slave women.

Some slaves didn't want to escape because they were to afraid to get caught. they knew that if they would be found and caught they would get a corporal punishment. Also if they escaped they would have to leave the ones they love behind. These are the main reasons for slaves to stay with their owners.
