Salvery+and+Abolitionist

Harriet Tubman was an abolitionist who was in charge of the underground-Railroad (it was a secret safe house where the slaves take a journey to the north to have freedom). She was a spy for the North and south and as well as a nurse and a cook in the civil war. Nobody knew when Harriet Tubman was born because the slaves owners never recorded there slaves birth-dates. So it unknown but people say she was born in the 1820's or the 18321's.

She was born in Edward broads plantation near buck-town Dorchester, county Maryland. Harriet was the 11th child (from the mother:Harriet Greene and Father: Benjamin Ross.)they to were slaves of Edward Brodas.Her real name was Araminta but as a child she was called Minty when she got bigger she start calling herself Harriet. In 1835 a slave owner asked her to help him whip another slave then she refused and when the slave try to run away he got a iron weight and threw it at him but it missed and hit Ross instead she had a deep scar and it almost crushed her skull ans she was unconscious for days. 1844 Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman, she took her mothers name.While working as a nurse she helped many people after she found water and Lillie and cranes bill so she boiled some water and herbs and she gave it to the men and they did recover but they recovered slowly.

Then in 1849 she thought herself and the others slaves were about to be sold so she decided to run away but then her husband John didn't want to go so she took her two brothers and followed the north star to guide her north to freedom.Her brothers got too scared and they turned back but nothing can stop Harriet she kept on going and she reached Philadelphia. when she was there she found a job as a household and she saved up money so she can go back and rescue the others.

. Here is a reward for Harriet Tubman's capture and who ever returned her to her slave owner will receive two hundred dollars.. she helped her own family and others too like 70 year old parents. (Tubman herself said, "On my Underground Railroad I [never] run my train off [the] track [and] I never [lost] a passenger.")this is the route that Harriet Tubman took the slaves to freedom Buck town to Camden to Wilmington to Philadelphia.
