It was called the "Underground Railroad". The way it worked was there were many, many people, both black and white, who helped the slaves during their escape to the north. Most of them went as far north as Canada, where they would be completely out of the jurisdiction of the US.

The slaves were given the directions to a location (but no names) of a person or family who were sympathizers of the slaves, and part of the Underground Railroad. They were not given the names of the people helping them to protect the identity of the ones who were helping them. Once they reached that destination, they were given food and shelter, and hidden for safety. Hiding them was for the safety of the slaves, but also for the safety of those helping them. To be caught helping slaves was pretty much a death sentence for both the slaves and those working the Underground Railroad.

From that location, they were then given directions to another location further north, then another, and so on, until they reached their final destination. They did the majority of their traveling at night, which made them less likely to be caught. Because of Harriet Tubman and those who helped her, there were many, many slaves who were able to safely escape to freedom.

Harriet Tubman was a brave and very strong woman. She traveled very long ways to get herself, her family, and as much slaves as she could to freedom. She risked her life nineteen times as a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad. As I recall, she escaped to Pennsylvania from Maryland. No one really knows how many miles she had to travel to get to freedom when she escaped.

harriet tubmans life time accomplishments are freeing all the slaves and her family

Harriet was called Minty because her real name was Araminta Ross. She took the name Harriet from her mother's first name and Tubman was her husband's last name.

She helped create the underground railroad. Because she helped many African American slaves escape to Canada, including her family she was a great addition to the war against slavery. They (the whites) were on the hunt for Harriet, but that did not stop her she still lead a army of runaway slaves to the home of the free Canada.

Harriet Tubman was a woman and got the nickname Moses, because she lead her people from bondage to freedom, like moses did for the Israelites.

Yes, Harriet Tubman was poor. She was a slave whom escaped from the south via the Underground Railroad. She later went back 19 additional times to help other slaves escape.

The South had several advantages over the North. First, the South was fighting for preservation; if they lost the war, the North would crush their government and re-absorb them back into the Union. These Southern men were fighting for a cause they believed in, which makes them much more motivated and determined than their Northern counterparts, who were on a campaign to conquest. Second, for the latter portion of the war the battles were fought on Southern territory. This increased a soldiers resolve because they were defending their children, their wives, their mothers and everything they held dear to them.

They called her Mintia or Minty as an child later on switch as Harriet after her mother.

she was too sweet to

She was born as Araminta Ross at Dorchester County, Maryland, approximately 1820.

no!

She was married twice. The date of her first marriage to John Tubman, is not known, but it was in 1844. Her second marriage was to Nelson Davis on Thursday the 18th of March 1869.

Harriet Tubman and Belle Boyd were both spies.

In 1844, Ross married a free black named John Tubman and took his last name. She also changed her first name, taking her mother's name, Harriet

She was a conductor on the Underground Railroad, so my estimate is that she probably had used that way of transportation before she worked to free slaves.

that it was a major role for her cause she had to free the slaves and i guess she died

she played a major role because she was risking her life and freedom to save others

ALL IN THE NAME OF CHEESE!!!!

and i know that she help slaves escape

Yes, Harriet Tubman is called Mosses

What those three very important and famous at the time and present day famous women had in common with Harriet Tubman was that they all contributed in the Union side during the American Civil War.

One of her most epic risks was when she was the conductor of the underground railroad. She worked a good ten years saving and/or rescuing fugitive slaves out of slavery. She was also a spy and a soldier in the union army.
