One of the most remarkable women in the American history was Harriet Tubman. She was born in a slavery on a Maryland plantation in the year 1820. When she was only seven years old, she tried to run away from the plantation, but she was captured and severely punished for trying to run away. In 1849, she escaped to Pennsylvania. Soon after her escape, she became a conductor on the Underground Railroad which was not a real railroad. It was informal network of people in the United States and Canada who believed that slavery was wrong. They helped runway slaves by giving them shelter on their journey out of the South. The members of the Underground Railroad helped hide the runway or fugitive slaves, and then they "conducted" them to the next safe home or "station". After her escape from Maryland, Harriet Tubman returned to the South nineteen times to help other slaves escape north. Between 1850 and 1860, she helped more than 300 slaves escape to freedom in the North, including her own parents. She conducted many of these slaves along the Underground Railroad all the way to Canada.
In 1861, the American Civil War between the North and the South broke out, and Harriet Tubman went to help the army of the North, or, as it was also called, the Union Army. She worked as a nurse and helped to take care of thousands of recently freed slaves. Harriet Tubman served as a nurse for the North, but she also served as a spy and a commando. Let me tell you what this fearless woman did. In 1863, she and a Union officer led a band of 150 black soldiers on a raid against the army of the South, or, as it was called, the Confederate Army. Tubman and the soldiers destroyed a lot of army supplies and then let nearly 800 slaves out of the area to freedom.
When the war ended in 1865, Harriet was 45 years old, but her life was only about half over at that time. Between 1856 and 1913, Harriet continued her efforts to help others, particularly the poor, the sick and the homeless in the African-American community. She lived until 1913. When she died, she was 93 years old.
Harriet Tubman did not have any easy life, but she had a very remarkable life. She was small woman in stature, but she was a giant in the story of the fight against slavery in the United States and, indeed , in the world.
