Assignment #6

The person i will be talking about is Harriet Tubman. Well Harriet Tubman was a humanitarian. Harriet Tubman was the one who started the Underground Railroad. She started it so she can help everyone escape and so she can escape from slavery and she got other slaves to help her make the underground railroad. Also one of the good things that she did was that she did not lose anybody when she was coming to Canada. Next Harriet Tubman made thirteen trips back and forth to take the slaves to Canada. When she was young and in slavery she was beaten and battered and bruised and she suffered a traumatic head wound but in the end she was a hero and saved many people while saving her life. Also Harriet escaped to Philadelphia and when she got there she knew it was wrong leaving the others behind so she went back to Maryland and she saved the people.
