Harriet Tubman
Luis Morales
The story of Harriet Tubman is one of inspiration and will, will to overcome any obstacles in life. I did not know that she was married to a free man. It is curious to me that Harriet kept her husbands last name, even though he treated her poorly their entire marriage. The pictures were great and really added to the story.

I appreciate reading such wonderful and historic articles about miraculous people who were born to make an impact on historical phenomena. Harriet Tubman is a heroic woman in my eyes, when I read this particular article, she portrays all qualities that a strong and independent human being should possess. She has a deep determination to be free and leave the dreadful world of being beaten and threatened during this horrific time, Tubman wanted nothing more than to be free and live a happy life with her husband. She made the choice to leave, and the choice to leave came at a consequence when she left her family behind for a better life. However, even after all of her actions, she became widely known as one of the greatest African American women to pave the way for others to do the same and fight for freedom.

Everyone learns about Harriet Tubman at some point during school. The underground railroad served as a way for slaves to finally gain freedom. Reading this added even more to how inspirational Harriet is. She had to face the challenges of leaving her husband, master and even risked her life 19 more times going back to free more slaves. Reading this further adds to her importance, great job!

Harriet Tubman is a very inspirational woman. This article did a great job at giving her justice. I did not know that she had disability problems growing up. Due to the weight being thrown at her. Ever since elementary school I still remember how they made us learn about the big dipper. Then in music class they would have us sing her song of the path to freedom.

This is a true story of hardship and survival that makes this article truly intriguing and entertaining. The part of this story that disturbed me the most was the fact that Harriet Tubman was abused so early in her life, that she had many disabilities because of it. I was aware of Harriet Tubman before reading this article, but I was unaware of the specific details and the horror that she endured throughout her life. Reading about a heavy weight being thrown at her and fracturing her skull disturbed me greatly and gave me the knowledge of the true horror that Tubman endured. Due to the specific detail of Harriet Tubman’s life as a slave, the horrors that she endured, and the horrors that she endured while escaping from her torment makes this article extremely fascinating to read.

I love reading historic articles about miraculous people. They were regular people who decided to make a difference in this world. Harriet Tubman is a strong powerful brave woman. She was determined to be free and leave the awful world of slavery. She wanted nothing more than to be free. Today Harriet Tubman is known as one of the greatest African American women to pave the way for African Americans and fight for their freedom.

Harriet Tubman is a national hero. It takes an immense amount of courage to do something of that magnitude once. But to do it 19 more times? that’s nothing short of incredible. I really enjoyed this article. It is important that we share articles on this website that are about important dates and people. In a world where a lot of bad things happen, its important to highlight the good people and the things they do.

I feel like most people who come across this article know a descent amount of Harriet Tubman’s history due to Middle School and High School history classes. However, I don’t think any of us were prepared to see that there was so much more that we didn’t know about her. Somethings I didn’t know about her were the many hardships she faced. I know that she helped many after helping herself, but I never knew that a former owner of hers had fractured her in a fit of anger, that her brothers left her alone to find freedom because of fear, and that she had to watch her sister be sold a torn apart from her family. Harriet Tubman’s story is truly inspiring and amazing.

Those who fight for what is right and what they feel should be changed should be recognized just like Harriet. She was just a brave woman who knew what she wanted and knew that the life she was living wasn’t right for her and so she decided to change it. She will forever be remembered in history for her just being herself and fighting for what she believed in, overall the author did a very good job on this article. A very well done.

I did not know that she was married, let alone to a free man. I wonder why he threatened to tell her master if she ever tried to run away. Everyone pretty much knows about Harriet Tubman and her tremendous help in the Underground Railroad and bringing so many slaves to the free states. I like the way you began your article!
