Harrit Tubman
After reading the woman call Moses is concluded that the central idea of the story is "we are always uneasy now it's been free I know that slavery is I have seen hundreds of escaped slaves and never new one that would go back and be a slave” .
I decided that this was the sentence after reading through the passage many times.

Throughout the text it conveys that this has to be the central idea. For example incidents 36 and 37,38 Harriet said ‘when I found that I crossed the line I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There're such glory over everything the sun came like go run into the trees and fields over I felt like I was in heaven’ this clearly states include merely says that the main idea of the passage must be what was originally repeated in the first section.

The author next forces central idea by stating that, “there's two things I've got a right to do and they are desperately one or the other I need to have no one will take me back a lot I shall fight for my liberty”. This shows that she did not want to go back and that supports what was said in the main idea of"but I never someone who is willing to go back"

The final support for the main idea in this passage is "Heriot soon realized that she could not be free until all her people were free she wrote later I had crossed the line I was free but there was no one to welcome me until landing freedom I was a stranger strange land in my home after all was down in Maryland because my father my brother my sister and my friends were there but I was free and they shall be free to” this clearly shows the determination that she had when she said "I never saw one that was willing to go back and be a slave “ this shows that she did not want anything to have the unfortunate reality that they were slaves she wanted to help in slavery and she did in a big way.

The central idea of this passage is clearly conveyed throughout the passage this was demonstrated by the office many examples of

    These two passages are about Harriet Tubman. They tell how she lived her life. They also tell about what she did for slaves. She was known for the slaves and how she helped them with the Underground Railroad, but these two passages don't tell you all the same things. They don’ have the same structure either.…

    Lady Liberty stood proudly with her sun rays and greeted a twelve year-old girl. I was in the cabin of the Groote Beer, and my heart raced when she showcased her light. The experience was brighter than glistening diamonds touching the depth of my soul. I knew this would be my home, a re-birth, and terrorist free, no more bullets flying, and plane blades hovering.

    The focal point of this chapter is that freedom was coming to four million slaves. But how do we get an idea of how the slaves reacted to their newly granted freedom. Slaves were unable to keep written records of any kind, therefore we must rely on their oral accounts. The chapter opens with, “The pounding of guns came relatively quickly to Beaufort…it was only a matter of time before the thunder of freedom rolled across the rest of the South…(p. 171)” The idea of freedom for colored people took years to acquire. White folks were uncertain that people so different from themselves could be considered equals in any aspect of their lives. “The relationship between master and slave was inherently unequal. Slaves could be whipped for trifling offenses…they were bound to labor as ordered if they wanted their ration of food and clothing. (p.175)” After all the slaves depended on their masters for everything prior to gaining freedom. For some the thought of trying to survive in a world without their master was unbearable and for others it was easier.…

    Your heart is beating hard and fast. So quickly that your footsteps lag behind it, so strong that it pounds in your head. The hunters might even hear it, but with all the adrenaline, the thought stays in the back of your mind. You are a slave. Your master just died. You’re running. This is exactly what happened to Harriet Tubman, most known for being a conductor (a.k.a. escort who journeyed with fugitives) on the Underground Railroad (a network of people and safe houses to get runaways to Canada/freedom). However, she didn’t just materialize like that. She was born as Araminta Ross around 1822 in Dorchester Co., Maryland, to a life destined to slavery. When she was 22 years old, she married her first husband and changed her name to Harriet Tubman. When her master died 5 years later, she decided to flee to the North. The years afterward were spent carrying out various tasks to help abolish the inhumane practice. Among these, which of her accomplishments took the most risk, time, impact, and save the most people: being a nurse, spy, caregiver, or conductor?…

    Harriet Tubman was an influential figure in both, the Underground Railroad and multiple anti-slavery movements. Clearly defined, the Underground Railroad was the series of pathways and stations used by runaways in their escape to freedom (Schraff 24). The Railroad provided houses, buildings, and ways of travel for many slaves desiring for deliverance (Schraff 24). Harriet Tubman’s birth name was Araminta Ross, which she later changed to Harriet (americancivilwar.com). Around the year 1820, she was born in Bucktown in Dorchester County, Maryland, which was about 100 miles south of the free states (Schraff 14). Tubman’s early life, journey to freedom, service in the Civil War, and her consistent rescues for her friends and family greatly impacted the Underground Railroad and the Civil War itself.…

    Her real name was Harriet Beecher Stowe. Born as a salve on June 14, 1820 on a plantation in Maryland. There were 8 children in her family and she was the sixth. When she was five, her Mother died. Her Father remarried one year later and in time had three more children. Her Father always wanted her to be a boy. When Harriet was only 13 years old, she tried to stop a person from being whipped and went between the two people. The white man hit her in the head with a shovel and she blacked out. From then on she had awful migraines and would sometimes just collapse on the ground while she was working. She served as a field hand and house servant on a Maryland plantation. In 1844 she married John Tubman, who was a free black. In 1849 she escaped to the North, where slaves could be free before the outbreak of the American Civil war. In 1861 she made 19 trips back to help lead other slaves. She led them to freedom along the clandestine route known as the Underground Railroad. She also led an estimated 300 slaves to freedom including her mother and father and six of her 11 brothers and sisters.…
