Now? No. There is no such thing as a slave anymore. At least 3 Amendments to the constitution deal with the rights of former slaves. It is important to understand that the constitution guarentees the rights of citizens living in the United States.

Pre-Civil War Times? Yes there was such a thing as the underground railroad. I suggest that you look up Harriet Tubman amongst others who were instrumental in getting people from the South to the North and even into Canada. Their heroic achievements were named the Underground Railroad. It was not a real railroad.
