because she was halping runaway slaves to freedom and slave owners did not like their slaves runing away and someone was helping them so they wanted her dead
Harriet Tubman was known for successfully getting slaves to freedom in the north, and knowing slave owners, they really did not like that very much, they wanted her success to end, so they put up a higher reward for her capture, so more slaves would stay on their plantation. So it was really "the higher the reward, the more likely people would really look for her."
Harriet Tubman
The reward for Harriet Tubman reached up to $20,000 in 1863, during the American Civil War. This substantial amount was offered by slave owners and others seeking to capture her, as Tubman was leading numerous enslaved people to freedom through the Underground Railroad. Her bravery and leadership made her a significant target for those opposed to her efforts.
Harriet Tubman was wanted to be dead or alive because she escaped 300 people fron the Underground Railroad for freedoom.
No. Awards and honors are a modern idea. In her time people were able to know they did good because they felt it. They didn't need the reward.

High Risk, High Reward
Actually it was not... Harriet Tubman having a $40,000 bounty on her head was a lie. *Straight African Descent from Black slavery.
