Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman escaped at the age of 29 from slavery in Maryland where she was born, when her owner died. She became a conductor for the Underground Railroad and was later a nurse and a spy for the Northern side in the American Civil War. She made 19 different trips from the South, going north to the safety of Canada. She saved 300 slaves. Slaves were hidden in covered carts with false bottoms and driven between the underground railroad 'stations' where they were fed and hidden during daylight hours before moving on. They often had to hide in forests, cross rivers and climb mountains. Slave owners offered a reward of $40,000 for Harriet's capture, but she was never caught. After the war Harriet ran a home for elderly African - Americans until she died in 1903.

Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Ross) did not have children of her own according to sources.

In about 1859, Harriet Tubman returned to her home in Auburn, New York with a girl named Margaret. There is confusion about who Margaret's parents were and some biographers think that Margaret actually was Harriet's daughter. Others say that Margaret was Harriet's favorite niece.

Harriet Tubman married a man named Nelson Davis on March 18, 1869 and they adopted a baby girl named Gertie in 1874.

A more soldierlike tradition, with some of the best officers from the US Army resigning to join the Confederates, and many of the rank-and-file being natural riders and shooters. Also a more emotive mission - defending the homeland against the invader.

· Harriet worked as a nurse during the Civil war attempting to heal the sick.

· Tubman worked on a medicine that could heal dysentery, a disease associated with terrible diarrhea, and she finally created the cure by boiling water lily roots and other herbs that made a bitter-tasting brew that caused a man to slowly recover.

· Another one was when she got into the south she didn't have anyone to welcome her to the land of freedom. Her exact words were " I had crossed the line. I was free, but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land".

she just escaped and never was free. thats when the government wrote the 14th amendment wich is, " All african americans are free. Nobody can own somebody els " that was a law and still is.
