Details
Harriet Tubman is well known for her role as a conductor in the Underground Railroad. After freeing herself from slavery, she personally returned to the South numerous times to lead other out, and provided instruction to still more people who found their own way to freedom. However, she didn’t stop there! In 1862 Harriet Tubman joined the Union Army as a nurse and served in multiple roles, including Army scout and spy. She was the first woman to lead an armed expedition in the Civil War, the Combahee River Raid, which resulted in more than 700 enslaved people being freed. Following the Civil War, Ms. Tubman continued to fight for causes she believed in. She was an active suffragist, speaking out for the right for women to vote. She also worked to provide care for newly freed people, young and old. Harriet Tubman’s life was characterized by her unwavering pursuit of freedom in every aspect of American life.
