HARRIET TUBMAN Freedom Fighter

该页暂无翻译

Harriet Tubman was no ordinary hero. As a woman and a slave, she had no rights and was not taught how to read or write. She also had a disability. None of that stopped her from leading many people to freedom.

Harriet Tubman was born enslaved in 1822 in Maryland. Everyone in her family was enslaved. As a slave, Harriet could be sold like an animal or a house by a white slave master.

Slaves had to work for no pay. Many slaves lived and worked on small farms and plantations. They were treated badly.

We know her as Harriet Tubman, but when she was born her name was Araminta "Minty" Ross. When Minty was a girl in the 1800s slavery was no longer allowed in the northern states in America, but Maryland was a southern state.
