Harriet Tubman Characteristics

Harriet Tubman was a slave in Maryland in 1820. Once she was born she was considered a slave. No one knows the exact date when Harriet Tubman’s birthday is. Her first job was at the age of five. Tubman was hired to take care of an infant. Harriet Tubman’s job was trying not to make the infant cry, so every time the infant cries Miss Susan the mother of the baby, whips Harriet Tubman on the neck. These scars around her neck stayed there forever. Then she was weak so then she was sent home.

When she was eight she was hired again and her masters were arguing. So, then she took a lump of sugar that she really wanted to try. Then she was punished so she ran away. “For three days she found a shelter in a pigpen where she had to compete with
pigs for scraps of food.”

One day, Harriet Tubman saw a slave trying to run away and escape from the store. So, Harriet Tubman was blocking the overseer could not see the slave trying to escape. Them, the overseer picked up a heavy metal weight to hit the slave but it hit Tubman in the head. This hit lasts for months, this injury made Harriet Tubman fall asleep and it was impossible to wake her up. She never recovered, so she surgery.

Harriet Tubman became famous and important because for being a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad and for leading more than three hundreds of slaves back to their homes. Tubman was finally free and found an escape but, she felt weird as if she was missing something. She was missing her parents, she went back and took her parents with her. Then, she still felt like something was missing. She partnered up with the Underground Railroad and set tunnels all over cities.

She went back and freed more than three hundred slaves.
Then, all the slaves were happy and thankful. “She never lost a “passenger on the Underground Railroad. No one really knows her age when she started freeing the slaves because like I said before, no one knows her age or birthday. After she started freeing slaves cops started looking for her. If someone found her they would've paid a lot of money to them.

Her characteristics are Courageous, Valiant, Hardworking, Resourceful, Served others without rewards, Generous, and Firmly believed in God. People would call her Moses and Minty. Her spouse was John Tubman until they got divorced, and then she found Nelson Davis. Her mother is Harriet Greenie Ross, and her dad is Ben Ross. She adopted a son Gertie Davis.

Harriet Tubman lived in Maryland and Auburn. She died from having pneumonia on March 10, 1913. She died in Auburn and buried in the Auburn’s Fort Hill Cemetery. She must have died at the age of 88 or 98. Her heirs were her niece Mary Gaston, grandniece, Katy Steward, and Frances Smith.

In conclusion, I think Harriet Tubman was a brave, strong and a courageous woman. She could’ve died. In my opinion, I love her story. I would suggest this story to people who are interested in black history. What Tubman did was very nice. Instead of thinking only for herself she thought of others I like it that she was a Christian and was
greedy,
