Harriet Tubman is a believing and dignified woman, who has saved a large number of African American males and females through her determination and love for God. People might think what could motivate someone to carry all that pain and misery upon themselves to help other people. Harriet Tubman was an African American woman who took on several roles throughout her life, much like a Union protester, philanthropist, and spy during the times of the American Civil War. His actions not only saved many lives during these horrific times, but at the same time gave other African Americans the confidence and courage to stand up for what they believe in and realize equal human rights for men and women around the world regardless of skin color or gender. Harriet Tubman was born as a slave in Dorchester County, Maryland, and her parents were Ben and Harriet Green. There is no actual documentation of her birth, however, she is said to have been born between the years 1820 and 1821; it was a typical problem of that period for most American slaves born in that era. Harriet began taking part in slave labor early in her life. Her first task as a child was to care for her younger brother and she was responsible for caring for one of the slave owner's children. She later tried to escape with her husband and brother, but her husband denied having gone. Furthermore, with her, her brothers also decided to return, leaving Harriet alone. Some researchers said that it traveled at night and disappeared during the day and its guide was the North Star. Many years later Harriet recalled, "I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person now that I was free. The... middle of paper... mma of poor teenagers. Harriet proudly recalled, "I never let out the my train off the tracks and never lost a passenger" (New York History Net 2002). She was buried with total military respect. Harriet Tubman's entire life story demonstrates her humanity, not just to members of her family, but also towards the people of her community. The problem is to present this philanthropic woman in a way that honors her extraordinary work in the ordinary circumstances of her life. After all the research it can be said that she achieved her goals coldly , foresight, tolerance and intelligence, moreover, it is amazing how an imprisoned woman who was never educated to read or write, discovered nobility, determination and integrity within slavery and how she was able to outwit his persecutors often.?
