Harriet Tubman was hit in the head with a weight in 1849 when she was about 27 years old. The incident occurred during her escape from slavery when a slave owner’s enforcer threw a heavy weight at her, intending to capture her. This injury caused her to suffer from seizures and narcoleptic episodes for the rest of her life. Despite this trauma, Tubman persevered and became a prominent abolitionist and conductor of the Underground Railroad.

Abolitionists responded to the capture of Shadrach Minkins, a fugitive slave apprehended in Boston in 1851, with outrage and mobilization. They organized protests and rallies to condemn the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act and to demand Minkins' release. The incident galvanized anti-slavery sentiment in the North, leading to increased support for the abolitionist movement and highlighting the moral and legal conflicts surrounding slavery. Minkins was eventually freed through a dramatic rescue, further energizing abolitionist efforts.

The new Fugitive Slave Act heightened tensions in the abolitionist movement by requiring all citizens to assist in the capture and return of runaway slaves, even in free states. This led to increased resistance and defiance among abolitionists, as they saw the law as violating their moral principles and undermining their efforts to help slaves escape to freedom. The Act contributed to the radicalization of the abolitionist movement and fueled divisions over how to effectively challenge the institution of slavery.
Harriet Beecher Stowe was inspired to write Uncle Tom's Cabin after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850. This law required citizens to assist in the capture and return of escaped slaves, which deeply troubled Stowe and fueled her abolitionist beliefs.

Harriet Tubman was a runaway slave from Maryland who dedicated her life to the cry of her people, "Let my people go!" She became known as "Moses of her people." Over 10 years she led more than 300 slaves to freedom along the Underground railroad. During the Civil War she was a nurse and a spy for the federal forces in South Carolina. If anyone ever wanted to change his/her mind during the journey to freedom, Harriet pulled out a gun and said, "You'll be free or die a slave!" at one point the reward for her capture was $40,000. yet, she was ever captured and never failed to deliver her people. Harriet once said, "On my Underground Railroad I never run my train off the tracks and I never lost a passenger."
Yes - a fanatical abolitionist. His attempted capture of the Federal arsenal, in order to arm the slaves for a nationwide rebellion, convinced the South that all Abolitionists were in favour of armed revolution.
