Harriet Tubman had to escape slavery. Many of her siblings were sold away and she could have been, but she was injured. She had a big dent in her head because a weight was thrown at a slave who was trying to escape, but it hit her in the head instead. this made her weak for a very long time and pretty much unsellable. The injury gave her strange visions, that actually helped her sometimes when trying to escape. But she didn't let the injury stop her, she soon became strong again, as strong or even stronger than a man. After escaping herself, she went back many times and led hundreds of slaves to freedom. Once a slave wanted to go back after he already went halfway, but knowing his white owners would beat her location out of him if he went back, she pretended to have a gun and made him keep going. she was married but when she ran away and came back to the state later, she found her husband was remarried. Even though she remarried herself, later on, she kept the name Harriet Tubman.
