Biography (Harriet Tubman)

 In this post, I am going to answer several questions that were tasked and create a short bioraphy of Harriet Tubman.

    So from the source that I have, mentions and explains all of Harriet Tubman's early life, achievements, and death. It also tells all about her values and what she fought for in her life.

    So I got several points and lessons that is truly amazing about Harriet Tubman.  think what is amazing is that it teaches me to not be selfish. Harriet Tubman herself could have escaped on her own from slavery on the underground railroad. However, she went back and escaped together with her friends and families and risked her life so that everybody can escape.

There were also several valuable lessons that I got from Harriet Tubman. I learned that we should fight for our freedom. Just like Harriet Tubman made her own way to fight for her freedom using the underground railroad, we need to fight for our freedom and for our own sake, not anybody's sake. Also, like the last paragraph, it teaches me to not be selfish and always care for others.

    Harriet Tubman was an African-American woman that was enslaved in Maryland, along with her families and friends. They were all very poorly treated by the white people who enslaved them, which is why Harriet Tubman has a lot of wounds that would later affect the rest of her life, including her own death. They were all distributed to different white people so they have to work separately from her family. So finally she decided to find her own freedom without her family as they were concerned for their bounty. But not long after that, she went back to Maryland along with her families and friends so they can all be free. She then joined John Brown, where together they wanted to destroy the institution of slavery. She then became an expedition leader to save more people from slavery. This is why she was called the "Moses" of her time. She eventually died at the age of 93 due to all her wounds from her early days when she was a slave, as she was constantly tortured, there were several permanent injuries that eventually caused her death.
