Harriet Tubman is well know for risking her life to help escaped slaves get to freedom in the North. She also served as a spy for the Union in the Civil War. Harriet Tubman was the first woman in American history to lead a military expedition.She helped the Union because she wanted freedom for those forced into slavery.Back then women were restricted to work in the house.Harriet did that but she also worked side by side with men. Some may call her a secret agent.
This was written to show the strength and spirit of Harriet Tubman. She wasn't able to write or read.But she could do so many other things. She really is someone to look up to.Even if she wasn't that smart. She was 5 foot 2 inches. Yet she was able to lead many men some who were probably much bigger than her.
I really look up to Harriet Tubman for her bravery. Most wouldn't even risk their lives like she did. She accomplished many things in her life. When she helped free slaves for the first time I'm sure that she knew that she could get in trouble. She didn't stop there she kept on going. She practically joined the army as a spy. There was a boon written about her by Tom Allen. The book is called Harriet Tubman, Secret Agent.
