Harriet Tubman

I enjoyed this article and the main idea of the project. The article contains very detailed events in Tubman’s life that allowed her to help many slaves escape horrible conditions. The details that were incorporated in the article allowed me to understand the amount of turmoil that she had to endure for the battle of freedom. She was a symbol of freedom for many people who would have thought that they would never experience freedom. Although her life was tremendously difficult, it was very interesting to learn about how she utilized her personal obstacles to free others.

Harriet Tubman not only escaped, but set an example for humanity and the importance of not only one’s freedom, but everyone else’s freedom. I know I would not be able to go back and endanger my freedom to help others escape, and for this reason she is deserving of her recognition and praise.

Harriet Tubman wan an incredible courageous woman. She risked her own life to help others escape the horrible conditions and torture of slavery. Before reading this article, I was never aware that she was married to a free man and that she wasn’t even able to trust him. It surprises me that she trusted her own husband with her secret of wanting to escape and her own husband told her that he would tell her owner. It saddens be that slavery was a part of our history and is still a part of our present.

Harriet Tubman was a powerful woman that will be remembered for her courage. Harriet Tubman endured some very poor conditions while living in slavery. Harriet strongly desired freedom from this awful lifestyle. It is crazy to think that Harriet Tubman was married to a free man. Tubman risked her life for her freedom which was all that she could ask for. Tubman was a very important historical figure. This article did a great job of showcasing the history of slavery amd the impact Harriet Tubman had on society during this time period.

This is a very interesting article about one of the first influential women in America! I remember Harriet Tubman from my school in elementary school and I think there was another incident about a bus? Yea but she was pretty influential because not many people understood that they were just like any other human beings and that hurt and constructed the majority of our social views today. This was an amazing article, and well written!!

I have heard of the Underground Railroad but the way you tell Harriet Tubman’s story makes it more intriguing to how she got to where she did. Such tragedies she had to live through as a slave and I can’t imagine the pain her family must’ve felt being separated from each other. I think it was brave of her to go back and rescue her brothers and other slaves who needed to be free. I didn’t know that the quakers helped Harriet with helping slaves escape makes me believe that someone had the right mindset about slavery being a cruel and unjust thing at the time.

Harriet Tubman is a strong, dedicated, and influential figure. The fact that she began her journey alone is admirable. As I read the article, I found it interesting that she did not have support from her husband, who said he would tell her master if she ever tried running away and that her brothers were too afraid to continue to journey. It is inspiring to know that Tubman developed the Underground Railroad and was so willing to help others escape the miseries of slavery. Great article!

Hearing a but more insight into her story made me realize just how much harder it must have been for her to not have support from anybody. She was her own strength and it is heart wrenching that even the closest people to her tried to keep her from escaping. The fear that was embedded into the minds of slaves at the time of course affected her deeply but she grew tired of being at the mercy of someone else. To think she made her journey not once, but nineteen more times is incredible! I did not know about the Quakers assisting her on the journey and would have wished to know more about that but all in all great article!

In all honesty, the name of Harriet Tubman is familiar but i did not know anything about her or her relationships with her family in detail till the article. Her bravery and strength to get to freedom but even more amazing is that she went back to save others. It was such a dark time in U.S. history, and Harriet Tubman tried to make the world a better place.

Like many other people, I had some insight as to who Harriet Tubman was and the Underground Railroad and ultimately how revolutionary it was for slaves. With this article however I was able to find out much more information such as, she had her skull fractured at the age of 12 which led to some disabilities, her husband was a free man and ultimately the power that Harriet Tubman to risk her life for the better of the other African-Americans in that area. Harriet Tubman will always be a revolutionary figure in the African-American community thanks to her strength and perseverance that she carried along her journey.
