I picked Harriet Tubman to do my paper on because I do not know much about her. I know she helped slaves escaped from slavery, but in schools I went to nobody went into details about her. She is clearly an outstanding person to have her name brought up years later after slavery.

Many white Americans and already free slaves risked their lives to help other slaves escape the harsh conditions of their plantations in the south. Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass were two major influences to the success of the Underground Railroad.

story of Henry “Box” Brown. A slave from Virginia, Henry managed to escape in a sealed shipping container heading north to an abolitionist safe house Philadelphia.
