Harriet Tubman

by Azya from Auburn

My hero is Mrs. Harriet Tubman. She was the most fightable woman in the whole wide world.

Why is the reason I choose Harriet? The reason why choose her is cause she took over 300 slaves to freedom.

When was she born? Harriet was born in Maryland in 1820. Maryland was not a slave but Harriet and her family were sold when they sailed. Harriet didn't speak to her owner because she hated him for a lot of reasons.

My hero's quotes
"I can say what most conductors can't say - I never run my train off the tracks and I never lost a passenger"
"I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves"
"I looked at my hands to see if I was such a glory over everything. The sun came up like gold through the trees, and felt like I was in heaven"

Harriet gets married - Harriet married to John Tubman. Her name was Harriet Ross but now it is Harriet Tubman. She took him with the people.
