Harriet Tubman's Journey

     She was a spy, she never lost a passenger. You may know her as the slave who escaped and led other slaves through the underground tunnels, or as the key to the many slaves that were saved, well her name is Harriet Tubman. She was born a slave and escaped and started her way on a journey that would make her a very important unsung hero today. 

Harriet Tubman was born around the estimate of 1820 or 1822 and died in 1913 on March, 10. She was born a slave in Dorchester County, Maryland. Harriet in fact did have siblings, 8 and her being the 9th. She escaped slavery in 1849 because of an injury and her owner had passed away. Once she had realized that she was now free and didn't get caught, she started her journey to find and rescue her 8 siblings in Philadelphia.

During Harriet Tubman's journey, she faced a lot of hard things. One very important thing that happened to her was she was hit with a heavy weight when she was little, because she refused to work at a field. This event caused her in later life on her journey to free slaves to struggle with headaches, micranes, and random seizures. Harriet also risked her life when she would save the slaves and lead them through the underground tunnels making sure no one was left behind. In fact she worked so hard she never once lost a passenger, or left one behind. 

    As you can see Harriet Tubman was and still is a very important person, and if she hadn’t done what she did, our world would not be the same as it is today. In 2016 it was announced that soon Harriet Tubman’s face will replace Andrew Jackson's on the $20 bill because of the major and important things she did, and because of how many people she saved and how she saved some of the world. That is Harriet Tubman’s journey and how she became an unsung hero today.
