CHANGES OVER TIME...
Harriet Tubman fought for rights for many African Americans that had been put through slavery, and treated unequally, as if they were animals. The first of many changes that she had started with, was she ran away from her compound with her brother that, after feeling bad about leaving, went back. When she had heard that her niece and her two children were being sold, she came back and snuck them out, after she had known about the underground railroad, and took them to Pennsylvania with her husband, who had stayed and helped Harriet travel back and forth, and also had taken her husbands mother, and her sister. In nineteen missions, she had helped free over 300 slaves from eastern Maryland to Pennsylvania. She had done all of this with a chronic head disease that many people think had been from her owner beating her. this is a quote from her: "there was one of two things i had a right to, liberty or death. If i could not have one, i would have the other."
