Tubman was born into slavery in Maryland in 1822. She escaped to freedom in 1849, and she quickly became involved in the Underground Railroad. She made 13 trips back to the South to help other slaves escape, and she never lost a single passenger.

During the Civil War, Tubman worked as a scout and spy for the Union Army. She also helped to organize the Combahee River Raid, a daring raid that freed more than 700 slaves. After the war, Tubman continued to work for the rights of African Americans. She helped to found the National Association of Colored Women, and she spoke out against racism and discrimination.
