Harriet Tubman was born on March 10, 1913, registered at birth as Araminta Ross, was a fighter for the freedom of enslaved African Americans in United States United.

After escaping from slavery, he carried out thirteen rescue missions in which he freed about seventy slaves, using the anti-slavery network known as the underground railway, one of his great inventions

The Underground Train (in English, Underground Railroad) was a clandestine network organized in the 19th century in the United States and Canada to help African American slaves escape from plantations in southern United States to free states or Canada.

The name "Underground Railroad" comes from the fact that its members used railway terms in a metaphorical way to convey their activities

For example, drivers or machinists were those who helped runaway slaves in the slave states themselves.
South. They provided costumes, maps, instructions on places to stay, and sometimes accompanied them, guiding them along the way.

Later, she aided John Brown after his takeover of the Harpers Ferry arsenal, and after the war she fought for suffrage for women.

He was born into slavery in County
Dorchester, Maryland.

During her childhood she was beaten and beaten with a whip by several of her "owners."

As a teenager, she suffered a severe head injury when one of her "owners" accidentally hit her with a heavy object that he had thrown at another slave.

As a result of the injury, he suffered strokes, headaches, visions and episodes of hypersomnia throughout his life.

A devout Christian, she attributed her visions and dreams to divine premonitions

In 1849, Tubman escaped to Philadelphia.

After that, he immediately returned to Maryland to rescue his family. Little by little, he drove his various relatives out of the state, sometimes personally guiding dozens of slaves to freedom.

Traveling at night and in extreme secrecy, Tubman (or "Moses" as he was called) "never lost a passenger."

Various rewards were offered over the years for capturing the escaped slaves, but it was never known that Harriet was the one helping them. When the Runaway Slave Act was passed in 1850, it helped many slaves flee to Canada.

In April 1858, Tubman was introduced to the abolitionist John Brown, an insurgent who supported violence as a way to eradicate slavery in the United States.

Although he never supported violence against whites, Harriet supported his strategy of action and his objectives.

Like Tubman, John felt called by the voice of God, and he trusted the Divine to save him from the wrath of the slave hunters

Tubman spent the last years of his life in Auburn taking care of her family and other people in need. She worked various jobs to help her elderly parents and hosted guests so she could pay the various bills.

One of the people who stayed in his home was a Civil War veteran named Nelson Davis, who began working on Auburn as a bricklayer.

They soon fell in love and despite the fact that she was twenty-two years older, they were married on March 18, 1869 at the Central Presbiterian Church.

From that moment on they would spend twenty years together, and in 1874 they would adopt a girl named
Gertie.

In 1883 Tubman was the victim of a scam in a gold transfer. Two men, by names Stevenson and John Thomas claimed to have in their possession a cache of gold smuggled from South Carolina, offering him this treasure, whose value - they maintained - was $ 5,000, in exchange for $ 2,000 in cash.

During her last years she worked to promote the suffrage cause (claiming the right to vote for women). On one occasion a white woman asked

Tubman if he believed that women should be able to vote to which he replied: "I have suffered enough to believe it."

This activism brought a new wave of admiration among the press of the States, and a publication called The Woman's Era published a series of articles on eminent women, including Tubman.

During her old age the problems derived from the injury of her adolescence continued to affect her. In the late 1890s he underwent brain surgery

She was operated on without anesthesia as she preferred to bite a bullet as she had observed Civil War soldiers do during amputations

In 1911 her condition was very delicate and she was admitted to the residence that had been built in her honor.

After a New York newspaper described his serious health and financial condition, there were a significant number of spontaneous donations.

Harriet Tubman died in her nineties of pneumonia on March 10, 1913.

•Without a doubt, in my opinion, Harriet Tubman was an exceptional woman who, although she did not come out of poverty herself, helped slaves to escape from a place worse than Hell
