Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman contributed to the Civil War by being a nurse, soldier, spy, and scout. Under the command of James Montgomery, she led the Combahee River expedition to help blow up Southern supply and free hundreds of slaves.

the fugitive slave act change Harriet Tubman life because the tried to stop her from freeing slave.

At the outset of the Civil war, the South actually had several advantages over the North. Most of these were gradually lost over the course of the war.

Most of the most experienced and effective military commanders in the US forces prior to the Civil war were from the South - and most of them chose to side with the South when war broke out. As the war continued, Union commanders became more experienced and effective and the younger commanders who were talented got promoted. At the same time, many of the top Confederate commanders got killed in battle.

On average, the Confederate soldiers had a lot more experience with riding horses (which made for better cavalry) and shooting guns (better infantry). As the war dragged on though, the Union forces gained experience until they could match the Confederates.

For much of the war, the Confederates were fighting on familiar territory - but eventually the Union got familiar with it too.

Historians seem to feel that the turning point when the Union finally gained an overall advantage over the Confederacy was at the Battle of Gettysburg.

It was the war between American colonist and there home country England(at the time) it last from1775 through 1783 the colonist were mad about all the taxes they have been given
The revolutionary war was the war Colonists fought against British. The colonists did not want the taxes and rules Britain gave them and they started war. The colonists were the Americans. There were also some foreigners brought it (Germans, French, Spanish) that also participated in the war and some became generals.

she wanted to rape the other slaves. jk hahahahahaha she did it to save african americans from labor and being killed by cruel slave owners

Harriet Tubman is credited with starting the 'underground' railroad to help free slaves. But there were many others involved as well.

In truth:

Harriet was a slave who in 1844 married John Tubman, a freeman, (formally an indentured servant). She gained permission to marry him from her owners and lived with him in his cabin, but being a slave she had to still serve her master. She told her husband of her dreams of one day gaining her freedom as well. But, he told her that she could never be free. He told her if she tried running away, he would turn her in. She, still understanding freedom escaped. When she returned to Maryland, Harriet went to her husbands cabin. She wanted him to go north with her. What she found was he had taken another wife. But there were others that asked her for help to be free, and she started helping them by explaining which people would help them get to the north and freedom.

Her biggest help to end slavery was with the union army, she became a spy that could easily fit in on the plantations moving freely at night with her experiences traveling back and forth.

She should be best known for helping to end the Civil War early and helping the North, that was losing at the time, to win.

Mrs. Tubman was a great American that helped save lives and shorten a war. without her many more American's would have died and the United States might not be here.

Harriet Tubman lived nearly half a century after the civil war and spent her time helping a biographer publish her life story. She also spoke for the rights of woman and African Americans, helping organize the AME which mean - (African Methodist Episcopal) Church. She also set up homes for the elderly African Americans. She fought for a military pension as well but was only able to win a widow's pension. She tried to help people with many laws to fight for the African Americans.

Her "master" wouldn't let her learn to read or write but she found other slaves to teach her some. Her birth date is unknown because her "master" didn't think it was important to record slaves birth dates.

they helped each other by keeping secrets and not turning back.

Harriet Tubman was buried in Fort Mill Cemetery, in Auburn, New York, with military honors

Harriet Tubman was wanted to be dead or alive because she escaped 300 people fron the Underground Railroad for freedoom.

Harriet Tubman took 11 trips on the Underground Railroad. ._.

i'm not extremely positive, but i think that the slaves ate scraps from their masters. So maybe chicken, or porkchops or something like that.

Harriet Martineau is often referred to as the first female sociologist. Martineau wrote many books and essays, and was able to support herself on her writing along, which was unheard of for a female in the Victorian era.

"Moses" is what she was called. This is a reference to a Gospel song about how Moses lead his people out of slavery to freedom. This is what Tubman was doing. Often various Gospel songs were used to relay messages among the slaves as they worked and the slave holder had no idea what they were doing.

many northerners learned about slavery by personal contact with slaves.

Have you ever heard of the Underground Railroad? Well Harriet Tubman was the one who discovered it!! =) She helped people escape from slavery and get to the land to be free!! =) She helped a ton of people, some she knew, others she didn't!!

As Harriet Tubman aged, the sleeping spells and suffering from her childhood head trauma continued to plague her. At some point in the late 1890s, she underwent brain surgery at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital. Unable to sleep because of pains and "buzzing" in her head, she asked a doctor if he could operate. He agreed, and in her words, "sawed open my skull, and raised it up, and now it feels more comfortable."She had received no anesthesia for the procedure, and reportedly chose instead to bite down on a bullet, as she had seen Civil War soldiers do when their limbs were amputated.

By 1911, her body was so frail that she had to be admitted into the rest home named in her honor. A New York newspaper described her as "ill and penniless", prompting supporters to offer a new round of donations. Surrounded by friends and family members, Harriet Tubman died of pneumonia on March 10, 1913. Just before she died, she told those in the room: "I go to prepare a place for you."
