Harriet Tubman
Hey, I’m Harriet Tubman
and I was born in
Bucktown, Maryland. I
was once a slave but I
went through many tasks
to escape. After that I
helped many people
escape from slavery and
also became a spy for the
Union.
Sigh… I’m so tired… I just got done
giving 1st aid to 27 people, cooked 59
meals, and cleaned 12 rooms... Lots
of work but I’d rather do this than be
a slave

Harriet Tubman was a great person to go and help free captive
slaves. She made 19 total trips and helped a minimum of 300 slaves total.
After all this time, her reputation grew as an Underground Railroad
conductor. Because of this, many southerners wanted her captured. After all
the time rewards for her capture had totaled up to $40,000. One of her most
famous quotes are, “You’ll be free or die a slave!” She meant that no one can
escape. She would not let them escape on the railroad because if they left,
they could be forced to give information about where her group was.

Harriet Tubman did many things during the war like housework,
nursing, conducting the Underground Railroad, and spying. She would do
these things all day everyday because she wanted to do her best to help
make slavery illegal. When she went down to the South to help rescue slaves,
she would also keep watch on how the Confederate forces were handling
things. She was a very useful spy and a nurse. She was very helpful to the
Union during the Civil War.

Because of the fact that Tubman was a spy, she had to have many
identities. If she kept to one identity she would be easy to find and capture.
She was known as many names such as: Arminta Green, Arminta Rose,
Harriet Ross Tubman, Harriet Ross, and Moses. She was known as Moses to
the people because she was like Moses freeing the slaves from Egypt. At one
point, she had disguised herself so well that when she ran into an old master
of hers, he didn’t even recognize her.

Finally… into the free land
Tubman escaped from slavery in the year 1849. When she
became free, she joined an abolitionist group. Later after she was free, she
returned to Maryland to help the rest of her family escape as well along with
some other slaves. That is when she became known as an Underground
Railroad conductor. Before she ran away, she had a harsh childhood. When
she once tried to help a slave escape, she was struck in the head and was
given brain damage and periodically blacked out. Later, she grew old and died
of pneumonia .
