Oct. 2018. This article stresses the problem of slavery. The people longed to be free, so
they held meetings to go against all that was happening. During this time, slavery was the
topic of discussion, and this article proves how badly some people wanted to abolish
slavery. This proves what Harriet Tubman was fighting for. She wanted to overcome the

Tubman's life and some of her greatest accomplishments. It begins by explaining her
years as a slave. She made many trips to the South, bringing many slaves to safety. A
reward was put up for her. Even past her days of escaping South, Harriet Tubman
continued to love on those around her by taking in the blind, poor, and orphaned. She did
so much for the society and now other people wanted to do get her something in return.

search for "Moses," who was also known as Harriet Tubman. Robert E. Hayden wrote a
play about the courageous eminence who led her people to freedom using the
Underground Railroad. Hayden explained that Harriet is the most interesting and colorful
negro in history. He also explains that Harriet is worthy of her place in society and

C.S explain how Harriet uses the Underground Railroad for freedom of enslavement.
They also explain the popularity Harriet portrayed within the north as slave owners
offered a total of 840,000 dollars if anyone could find her whether she was dead or alive.
This explains that Harriet was causing such a great positive impact in enslaved lives as
she brought them to freedom that slave owners could not stand her movement. This
newspaper also explains Harriet's place within the civil war as she served as a nurse.
Until 1913 when Harriet died, she served for the rights of Negroes. Harriet was
constantly sacrificial until the day she day in order to ensure freedom to as any people
she could impact. This is a primary source since it is an original document from the time

bestow upon Harriet Tubman; they made a branch in the Red Cross named after her.
Interview. By Benjamin Drew. Harriet Tubman St. Catherines Ontario CANADA, Salem Chapel,
Harriet Tubman explains how she grew up feeling neglected, and how she was not happy
or content. Every time she saw a white man she was afraid of what would happen to her,
especially after seeing her sisters being taken away. Since she's been free, she
understands more how horrible slavery is. She's witnessed the escape or many slaves and
never once had met a slave who wanted to go back. She compares slavery to hell. These
quotes will be used as proof to what Harriet Tubman has said about slavery. This is a
primary source because it is a quote directly recorded from Harriet Tubman's interview.
Interview. By Sarah Bradford. Harriet Tubman St. Catherines Ontario CANADA, Salem Chapel,
how Harriet Tubman came to the conclusion that she either had the right to liberty or
death. No one would take her back alive, so she concluded she had to fight for her liberty,
and if the time comes, then the Lord would let them kill her. This shows the strength and
courage that Harriet Tubman displayed throughout her life. This is a primary source
because it is a direct quote from an interview with Harriet Tubman. I will use this to

2018. The newspaper article explains the life of Harriet Tubman. It emphasizes how alike
she is to the Moses. Harriet began as a strong, tough slave. She endured a lot. It explains
how her master died and she began to think about running away to freedom. She traveled
at night so she would not be seen, following the stars above her. She made it to the free
land of Pennsylvania and was happy. Harriet Tubman was able to lead hundreds of black
slaves to freedom by using the Underground Railroad. She fought the US authorities on
her way to an anti-slavery meeting. Harriet Tubman was a heroic woman, who made an
impact on many people's lives. This is a primary source because it is a newspaper article
directly from the time of Harriet Tubman. I will use this as proof as things that happened
Russel, W M. $200 Reward. Five Negro Slaves. St. Louis, 1847. Library of Congress,
slave owners would do anything they could to get their run away slaves back. The slave's
description was very precise. Harriet Tubman probably also had a reward on her back.
She was probably scared to be caught, but did not allow her emotions and fear take
control of her. Instead, she pushed through and was able to bring so many people to
freedom. This is a primary source because it is an original article talking about the reward
of slaves. I will use this to show the money people would put out for their runaway
slaves.
Tubman, Harriet. "Freedom." 1849. Speech. Harriet Tubman states, “When I found I had crossed
that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory
over everything; the sun came like gold through trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I
was in Heaven”. Harriet is overwhelmed with the feeling of freedom that she cannot
believe she made it through as she second-guesses her identity. Since Harriet had been
enslaved for about 30 years, it is understandable that she would be speechless when
finally transitioning to freedom. When Harriet states, "I felt like I was in Heaven," that
can be portrayed as metaphorically because we are all chained in bondage because of sin
and failure, but once we are welcomed into heaven, we are completely free, which is the
feeling Harriet is experiencing. This is a primary source since it is a direct quote from
---. Speech. Democratic National Convention, 1913, Auburn, New York. Harriet Tubman states,
"If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If
there’s shouting after you, keep going. Don’t ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste
of freedom, keep going." Harriet Tubman is stating the advice that she gave to the people
of whom she was freeing. Although she starts with infusing them with fear, she continues
with encouragement as she constantly states, "keep going." A good leader will explain
hardships to come, but a plan to succeed and that is why Harriet was successful with
leading herself and others to freedom. This is a primary source since it is a direct quote

Nov. 2018. 55th Congress, 3rd session, House Document 1774. This document granted
pension to Harriet Tubman, who was a nurse in the US army. This is a primary source
since it is the original document that was received when Harriet Tubman got her pension.
We will use this in our project to show that Harriet Tubman did serve as a nurse in the
United States army, and that she did receive a pension from Congress. She received 25
dollars a month.

Oct. 2018. This primary source video clip is an interview between a man named Dr.
Crew and a woman named Cathy Unrugh, of whom runs the talk show. Dr. Crew is a
maker of an institution called the National Underground Freedom Center. The Center was
inspired by the leaders of the abolishment of enslavement and the value that the
Underground Railroad holds through Harriet Tubman's sacrifices. Dr. Crew shares of his
fascination in his early childhood with the history of slavery in his hometown, Ohio.
Lastly, Dr. Crew values Harriet Tubman's courage and sacrificial passion. This is helpful
to our project because it discusses the issues of slavery and the importance of abolishing
slavery.

understanding of Harriet Tubman's childhood as a slave and how she overcame the
struggles of slavery by escaping the slavery and assisting other slaves in escaping. The
struggles and tragedy that Harriet went through seemed overbearing for a young woman

Harriet was born a slave, and from her early years she was forced to work hard as she

black woman. She began to work to earn money for herself, but Harriet was not satisfied.
She would not be content until she knew that all her family was free as well. So, Harriet
