Writing about Harriet Tubman


Harriet Tubman was a slave. She was born in about 1820. No one is sure about her birth, because slave's date of birth doesn't witten down. Harriet had a nockname of Minty. Minty was very brave girl when she was young. One time, when she was working, she saw a slave try to escape. She helped him to escape. The owner of him throw weight to him, but it missed and it hitted Minty instead. Because of that it made long scar in her foward head.


When she was older, she married with John Tubman. John Tubman is a free man. One day Harriet found out that she is going to be sold. She deside to escape. She told John to go together, but John said he wanted to stay in his home. She deside to escape by herself. She use underground raillord to escape. Underground raillord wasn't dangerous. Her goal is to go to PENSILVENIA where is free.


She riched to PENSILVENIA, and she found job in hotel. One day she knew her sister is going to be sold. She went to North again and helped her sister to escape. She took her sister's family to PENSILVENIA. She helped lots of slaves to escape using the raillord. After few days, the war began. Harriet worked as a nurse in north army. She took care of hert soilders. About 5 years later the war ended, and all slaves were free. Harriet helped a lot of people and she died. Harriet helped about 300 people to escape.


I think Harriet is wrong to help the slaves to escape, because the owner bought, or took them to their work. But I respect Harriet when she helped a lots of people.
