Harriet Tubman was an African?American woman who fought against slavery. She was born in 1820. She helped many people escape from slavery through the Underground Railroad. It was an organized effort to help slaves from the southern states to areas that banned slavery.

Slaves could be sold freely. Families were often separated. Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman in 1844, yet she remained a slave. In 1849, the farmer who owned her died. Then she ran to the home of a white woman who had offered to help her.

This woman told her how to reach another home where she could hide. Harriet Tubman went from place to place in this way. This was how the Underground Railroad operated. Finally，she went into the northern state of Pennsylvania. During the next ten years，she led an expanded Underground Railroad，and helped 300 slaves escape.

Harriet Tubman found another way to fight against slavery during the Civil War. She went into the southern states to spy(做間諜) for the North. After the Civil War，Harriet Tubman settled in New York State. She gave speeches to raise money for better education for black Americans, worked for women's rights and sought help for older adults who had been slaves.
