Harriet+Tubman-Deborah

=Who is Harriet Tubman? = -By Debbie Lee 8G- Harriet Tubman. When we think of her, we see two things in mind. Blacks and women. These were actually the two things that Harriet spent much of her lifetime fighting for. She was an important figure of the Underground Railroad and also an active supported in antislavery who risked her own life rescuing about 300 African slaves and returning them their freedom. She also showed her great disapproval of slavery by strongly supporting the raids made by the other major abolitionists such as John Brown. But was that all? No, she also worked as a nurse, and even a spy and a scout during the Civil War, siding with the Union. It's is just too interesting in how such a small black woman back in the old days could possibly make such a big contribution to our American history. That was why I chose this person and decided to do further research on her. What makes her so different from all other important figures in her times is her immeasurable courage and determinedness. Not so many slaves who've escaped from the South can go back to save the rest of the friends and family. Not so many has the courage and determinedness to do so. And that's why I'm so interested in her. Before this research, I knew that Harriet Tubman was an African American who believed in equal rights among everyone including the blacks and the women. I was also aware of the fact that she had some relationship with the Underground Railroad. Sadly, that was all. But there were so much more about her that I wanted to know, so many "why"s and "how"s. First of all, what made her join the Underground Railroad? Where and how did she spend her childhood? Was she a slave too when she was young? What routes did she take to take the fugitives and where did she lead them to? After my research is done, I hope I get to answer all of my questions about Mrs. Tubman. = Phase 1 : K-W-L Paragraph = =Phase 2 : Historical Question = = **MY PRIMARY QUESTION IS** "WHAT MOTIVATED HARRIET TUBMAN ON SUPPORTING ANTISLAVERY AND LIBERATING THE AFRICAN SLAVES?". = =Phase 3 : Primary Sources = Document * [] * []
