Harriet Tubman



I choose Harriet Tubman because she believed in fighting for woman sufferage rights and freedom. She also helped a lot of people in need. Three accomplishment of Harriet are she ran the Underground RailRoad,  she directed slaves to freedom through the underground railroad, transporting over 3,000 slaves through the Underground Railroad, and into Canada, which became the only way to become a free African American man/woman, she was also a cook and nurse for the Union Army, but then an armed scout and spy. She was also a conductor of the underground railroad, where slaves escaped. Harriet Tubman was born into slavery in 1819 or 1820, in Dorchester County, Maryland. She got married in 1844 at the age of 25 to John Tubman. Harriet impact people in many ways she changed people lives. She help African American get aways from the harsh treat of their master. It wasnt always easy but she tired her best to help in what ever way she could. Imagine what is it would be like if someone that Harriet Tubman didnt take a stand and tried to help slaves. We would be batering for all our lives.
