Growin up...
Harriet Tubman born as Araminta Ross (aka Minty) was born a slave some time in the year 1820. She grew up in a family of 11 that's including her. She had 4 sisters and 4 brothers. She had a severe blow out to the head by a 2-pound iron weight thrown at another enslaved African, but it hit Harriet in the head when she was about 12-years-old. She was considered "disabled" after the incident.
Life as a condutor of the Underground Railroad
She was a runaway slave herself. After she escaped herself she went back to rescue her sister and her sisters two children. Then, she went back to the South to rescue more relitives. After a while she kept going back to rescure family and non-relatives. She freed over 300 slaves!!!
How did she contribute to the end of slavery
She was one of the most famous conductors of the underground railroad. After she escaped the south herself she went back to rescue her sister and two kids. Then went back to rescue a few other relatives. She kept going back and forth between the north and south to rescue relatives and non-realitives.

She kept going because... she was an escsped slave herself snd want to help others escape. Well of cuse she had relatives backa dn she had to help them to freedom. So she went back to help them and then started to help save the other slaves escape to freedom.
What her life was after ecaping slavery.
When she was going back to the north after her firt trip she found that her husband ha found another wife. after she rescued over 300 slaves she lved a somewhat normal life after that as a new free citizen of America. she later died on March 10, 1913 at the age of 91. She lived an intresting life.
She was an inspiration to all of us. No one that lives in the present can imagine what she had gone through. We should all learn from her that no one should say they live a bad life. Take a look at her life.
