Harriet Tubman attempted to free her husband, John Tubman, from slavery multiple times but was unsuccessful. The reasons included lack of support from John, who was content with his life as a free man in Maryland, as well as the risks and difficulties associated with attempting a rescue mission from a heavily guarded area. Ultimately, Harriet was unable to secure his freedom despite her efforts.
