William left Mr. Sands because he knew that promises in slavery were always broken. Although Mr. Sands had always shown great kindness to him, but the fact that he was still a slave, and was being taken to Washington D.C. to be a slave, even though he had been promised freedom. He did not trust it and wanted to taste freedom as soon as he could. He didn't want to risk Mr. Sands changing his minds, so he took his opportunity, and left.
I think that William's decision to run away was perfectly justified. I think that any slave who runs away's reason is justified. Slavery is an awful, cruel thing that should never have existed, so of course, his actions were completely and utterly justified. He had no other choice, he wanted to be free, and he wanted to do it as soon as possible.
