Harriet Tubman-was born in

Human slavery. She hated
slavery and did what she could
to free anyone held in bond*

~ la interesting: to note in passing
that history speaks favorably
nly of those who rendered
great service to their fellowman.
Those who do only for
themselves are little noted nor
are they long remembered.
At the tender age of five, Har
riet Tubinan was introduced t
slave labor. She states, "I wa
seven when I was sent to tak
care of a baby. I was so small
vad to sit on the floor and hav
the baby put in my lap. And th
baby was always in my lap ex
cept when the mother was feed

She also remembered ip her late

, twenty-nine before she attained

o ,
j Once Harriet gained free- j
*
s dom she was a terror to the ,j
j slave holders. She was contin- j
ually raiding plantations help- .1
e ing others fo freedom. Between ['
c 1851 and 1852 she made eleven
_ trips from Canada to the South
| to steal slavey. Every trip she
made was successful. No fugi'
tive was ev*r captured who
had her for a leader.
The amazing thing about this1
woman is that sYie operated in!
spite of three great handicaps, j
First, she was illiterate. Imagine j
how difficult it would be for a 1
fugitive to make his way from ^
Canada to South Carolina when *
he could neither read nor write. '
Enemies were all around. The ]
fugitive slave law was in opera-f-'tion.
A Negro had no rights1
whites were bound to resoectJ
They could show the fugitive anvi
piece of paper with writing on it j
and pLace him in.an embarrass-1
ing position. One time Harriet's
friends found her fast asleep un-1der
a poster that announced a
reward for her capture!
Jh nnt.hor front hnnriionn was!
e her inability to determine diree- j
j tions. When she ieft Canada to j
e pick uu the slaves she knew she,
e was to go south, but there wercj
; J no guide posts. When she event-^ n
I. ually found the slaves she knewi
she was to go north, but north , ;
r was not always easy to deter- *
j mine. . P
il Harriet's third great handi- 11
e eap was a sleeping sickness.

i- overcame her and she could do J
