Historians say Harriet Tubman was born in the year 1820. Nobody really knows. But we do know that Harriet Tubman was one of the bravest women ever born in the United States.
From a very early age, Harriet knew how slaves suffered. At six years old, she was sent to the fields. Working outside not only made her body strong but also made her learn about the Underground Railroad, on which she helped hundreds of people escape from slavery later. She also learned many things from the other slaves, which one day would help her lead her people to freedom. She became more of a rebel (反叛者).
In 1844, at about age 24, she married a free black man named John Tubman. By now, Harriet was sure she wanted to try to escape. Suddenly, the time came. Her owner died. Though opposed by her husband, she decided to escape.
