Many slaves escaped to the north during the American Civil War. If captured by the south, the runaway could have ears cut off, or be hamstrung, or branded, and taken back south. For many, the goal of safety and freedom was too great to ignore.

Why did slaves not fight for freedom?

Many did, and many tried, but were foiled. Their masters kept a very sharp eye on them, and it was difficult for them to succeed. I think most of the slaves did fight back because they were captured, and it was not fare that they had to work for nothing. They had to work day and night for their owners or they would kill them, or just beat them and maybe even starved them as a punishment.
