Answer: Harriet Tubman

Step-by-step explanation:

Harriet Tubman lead hundreds of slaves from the south to the north where they could have freedom. Doing this meant the slaves could finally be free from having to do whatever their owner says. She helped the slaves escape from being hit by their slaveowners for doing something wrong. Harriet also saved the slaves from being separated because a slave owner could sell slaves to another owner which separated families. The area where the slaves lived and slept in weren’t always in good condition.
