Harriet Tubman was born during the time of slavery, and she became a freedom fighter who escaped from wicked slave masters. Harriet even went back on many missions to free her people from slavery.

Harriet was an anti-slavery activist. She used the Underground Railroad to navigate slaves away from plantations. The Underground Railroad consisted of meeting points, secret routes, and transportation. There were safe houses from people who helped free other slaves, assisting them in reaching the slave-free states of North America.

Harriet did so well helping slaves gain freedom that the United States Army used her as a spy during the American Civil War. She was the first woman to lead an armed expedition in the war.

Harriet Tubman is a true heroine! She is an icon of courage and freedom for her people.
