    I couldn’t believe that Harriet Tubman worked as a spy while she was a African American female. She also worked as nurse for the Union army. I was surprised to learn that the Harriet Tubman isn’t Harriet’s birth name. It’s Araminta Ross. I learned that Harriet Tubman freed herself from slavery and did the same to hundreds of other slaves. She suffered from a traumatic head-injury after standing up for a field hand. Although the injury caused seizures and headaches, it was also said to give vivid dreams that helped guide her journeys along the Underground…

    Harriet Tubman was a person that would do anything to reach her goal and dreams and that’s why she risked her life. She risked her life many times for the sake of others. She also risked her life because there was a $40,000 dollar for her capture, which in that time was a lot of money which meant that there would be lots of people trying to hunt her down, but that didn’t stop her. My last example of how she risked her life is that she worked as a spy for the union and if she was discovered she probably would have been killed.

    Harriet set out for the free state of Philadelphia alone and by foot, later making use of the underground railroad, traveling almost 90 miles to reach freedom. “When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in Heaven” (Bradford). Rather than stay in the safety of the north, Harriet returned to the south, first for her niece and her children, then for her brother and a few other men. On her third trip, she attempted to bring her husband, but he had already taken a new wife, so she instead helped others who were seeking freedom.…
