Harriet Tubman
My paper is on Harriet Tubman. Harriet Tubman was a very heroic woman who completed thirteen missions to free black slaves using the Underground Railroad. Harriet Tubman was born with the name Araminta "Minty" Ross to slave parents, Harriet Rit Green and Ben Ross. Harriet Tubman was born in Dorchester County, Maryland. There is no accurate account of Harriet Tubman’s birthday. Harriet only had a general knowledge that she was born in between the years of 1815 to 1825. Harriet Tubman came from a very big family; she had four brothers and four sisters. As a child, Harriet was born into slavery. One day she was asked to assist a slave owner in detaining his slave and Harriet refused. As Harriet ran away, the slave owner struck Harriet in the head with a huge rock and cracked her skull. Harriet master did not get medical help for her. She had to continue her regular work routines in the cotton fields, sweating and bleeding. As a result Harriet suffered from seizures and periods of unconscious sleep attacks for the rest of her life. In 1844, Harriet Married a free black man named Ben Tubman. Although Harriet was a husband was free, Harriet still remained a slave. In 1849, Harriet successfully escaped slavery. She traveled a journey of nearly 90 miles by foot which took anywhere between five days and three weeks. In 1850 and 1851, Harriet went back to Maryland to guide her family members to safety and freedom. During an interview with author Wilbur Siebert in 1897, Tubman revealed some of the names of helpers and places she used along the Underground Railroad. She stayed with Sam Green, a free black minister living in East New Market, Maryland; she also hid near her parents' home at Poplar Neck in Caroline County, Maryland. From there, she would travel northeast to Sandtown and Willow Grove, Delaware, and onto the Camden area where free black agents, William and Nat Brinkley and Abraham Gibbs, guided her north past Dover, Smyrna, and Blackbird,
