Harriet Tubman was an abolitionist who believed that, while under a "sleeping spell", a vision was a message of God. It was her leading other slaves to Canada, or the Freedom Land. Throughout her lifetime, she made 19 trips to and from the south, and rescued 300 or so slaves. During the Civil War (1861-1865), Harriet supported the Northern Soldiers, or Union, who were against slavery. Harriet was a cook, nurse, and spy for the Union. If she hadn't helped, not as many slaves would have escaped, and the Union wouldn't have had as big a victory
