Harriet Tubman (Araminta Harriet Ross), also known as “Moses” of her time, was a phenomenal African-American abolitionist who broke seemingly impeccable odds and escaped the south from slavery, in the year of 1849. She would become well-known for her aggressive tactics in conducting many slaves to freedom during what is known today as, the American Civil War Era. Her ambitious attitude and robust air left many in awe as she led more than nineteen missions to rescue more than 300 slaves using the Underground Railroad (a system of antislavery protesters and safe houses).…
I couldn’t believe that Harriet Tubman worked as a spy while she was a African American female. She also worked as nurse for the Union army. I was surprised to learn that the Harriet Tubman isn’t Harriet’s birth name. It’s Araminta Ross. I learned that Harriet Tubman freed herself from slavery and did the same to hundreds of other slaves. She suffered from a traumatic head-injury after standing up for a field hand. Although the injury caused seizures and headaches, it was also said to give vivid dreams that helped guide her journeys along the Underground…

Colonel James Montgomery assigned her first expedition: A night raid to free slaves from rice plantations along the Combahee River.

When they reached the supply depot, Harriet and the other slaves destroyed the place and freed more than 700 slaves.

Harriet Tubman was a conductor, or leader of the Underground Railroad. Her job was to lead slaves from safe house to safe house on their journey to freedom. This trip was often one of great distance and struggle. Harriet Tubman led slaves from Maryland to Canada (Doc. A), while remaining un-detected and stealthy. The main complication was, to avoid being caught, Harriet and the slaves had to travel at night, when it is hard to see where you are going, and this caused the trip to be much slower. “She made most of her trips in and around December when the nights were longer and fewer people were out” (Doc C ). Due to most of her trips taking place in winter, it was often hard for slaves to survive the cold. Lack of food and water also caused a great amount of difficulty on this trek. Her many successful trips to free slaves along the Underground Railroad is her greatest accomplishment because of the hardships she had to endure and the many slaves she led to…

Harriet Tubman a fascinating African American women, who escaped from slavery, and also helped other slaves escape by conducting an underground railroad. She was an astonishing woman, born into slavery, with no kind of rights, privileges, or with no kind of hope in the world. I admire Harriet because she had strong fate for God, she was known as the black “Moses.” She and I both trust God completely, his power to act upon us for a better world. A woman described as a hardworking women who never saw things negatively, she never focused on the obstacles all she did was dream that things would get better and knew that it was part of Gods mission. The voice of God helped her with her mission, she would only go where she felt that God was leading her. I know whatever God sends me through my way I know it is test, which…
Harriet Tubman personally helped slaves escape because she wanted her family back her friends back, and her dignity back. Harriet Tubman was the leader of the slaves, believes in slaves, and she has a huge heart over slaves. When Harriet Tubman first escaped she had to leaves parents behind because if she didn’t she would get caught using too many people escaping. It was her first time escaping. She was impressive and cleaver at it. Though she was going to come back for them soon. Tubman also helped her brothers escape. The first time Tubman and her brothers got caught. The second time, they escaped without being caught. Harriet Tubman made disguises for slaves such as, grass on their bodies, masks to hide their faces, and special clothing which helped a lot. Harriet Tubman guided tons of slaves because she did not want them to be capture or hurt so she got them safe. She used secret paths, secret messages on special walls, and thousands of routes. The best way she made escapes for slaves was the Underground Railroad. That had more routes than other places of escaping. If Harriet Tubman saw a slave that was hurt she would never leave them behind and just take their life away from them even if it was sacrificing her life. Harriet Tubman said to herself she would never lose a slave again even it was risking her life for theirs. It was her only goal to get the slaves freedom back, her family’s freedom back, and of course…
In conclusion, I think Harriet Tubman was a brave, strong and a courageous woman. She could’ve died. In my opinion, I love her story. I would suggest this story to people who are interested in black history. What Tubman did was very nice. Instead of thinking only for herself she thought of others I like it that she was a Christian and was…
Freedom Harriet Tubman was a brave woman, she managed to take eleven slaves to Canada, with no one noticing anything. She also did something that was surprising, she took the gun that she had with her to make a slave stay or to die, "We got to go free or die." She didn't allowed a slave to go back while they were traveling because someone might figured that he/she were returning from the running slaves and might have to answer questions. She traveled to differents places to stay like Thomas Garret's house in Wilmington, Delaware. She wanted to get to Canada to have a chance to feel what it would be like to be free. She painted pictures of what she thought Canada would be like, that shows she wanted to be free. In the couples of houses she stopped to get food and to get warm, I believe the persons that owned the houses agreed that they should be free, but they were too afraid to make a move. At the start of the story they were searching for Moses who they thought it was a man, which it was not it was Harriet Tubman, who wanted to run off slaves. The slaves at the story were patience. Harriet had promised them food, and shelter, when they got to the first stop in the farmhouse the man said they were a lot of slaves and that it was not safe, because the farmhouse had been searched a week ago before they arrived there, so they didn't had what she had promised them. The slaves didn't screamed at her or complained. When they arrived to Canada I think that even though…
