Harriet Tubman was receptive to John Brown's ideas. Brown was impressed by her work on the Underground Railroad. Because she was very familiar with the topography of western Virginia , she shared that information with Brown. She also agreed to enlist Black recruits from Canada. Her help to Brown was chronicled in the plans found in Brown's Maryland farmhouse.
Harriet Tubman, an escaped slave and prominent abolitionist, traveled to Pennsylvania to claim her freedom. After escaping from Maryland, she reached the free state of Pennsylvania, where she found safety and began her work in the Underground Railroad to help others escape slavery.
The underground railroad was not a physical structure but rather a complex system of routes an escaping slave could use to reach a "free" area that did not support slavery. Homes where the escaping slaves could stop for a night and receive food and shelter were known as stations or depots. The height of the underground railroad was the first half of the 1800's.
When Tubman first started her escape, she was help by neighbors who told her how to find her first destination. When she got to the first house, the people put her in a wagon and covered her with a sack, then drove her to the next destination. When she got to Philadelphia, she met a man named William Still. Still was the stationmaster of the Underground Railroad. After that, she started helping Still and the Philadelphia Anti-Slavery Society to navigate other slaves to freedom.
