Harriet Tubman was born in about 1820 in Dorchester county, Maryland. She was one of nine children of a family of enslaved people. Her name at first was Araminta Ross. She later changed her first name to Harriet, which was her mother’s name.

In about 1844, Harriet married a free African American named John Tubman. In 1849, after hearing that she was to be sold, she escaped to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, without her husband.

In Pennsylvania, Tubman became a “conductor” for the Underground Railroad. The railroad was a secret network that helped enslaved people find their way to freedom. By 1857 she had freed dozens of enslaved people, including her own parents. She said that she “never lost a passenger,” even though some people offered large rewards for her capture.

During the American Civil War, Tubman went to South Carolina with the Union Army. She served as a nurse and a scout. She even led raids against the Confederates.

After the Civil War Tubman settled in Auburn, New York, with her parents. There she worked for racial justice and also for women’s rights. She believed that the two struggles were closely linked. In 1908 she opened a home for aged and poor African Americans. Harriet Tubman died in Auburn on March 10, 1913
