Read the excerpt from Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad. There was never anything to indicate his whereabouts. But a few days afterward, a goodly number of slaves would be gone from the plantation. Neither the master nor the overseer had heard or seen anything unusual in the quarter. Sometimes one or the other would vaguely remember having heard a whippoorwill call somewhere in the woods, close by, late at night. Though it was the wrong season for whippoorwills. Which reason best describes why Harriet Tubman uses the whippoorwill sound? to communicate with enslaved people who are going to leave with her to prevent plantation owners from tracking her group of runaways to confuse plantation owners while she helps people run away to mask the sounds of people running through the brush

The right answer is: to communicate with enslaved people who are going to. Since it was not the right season for whippoorwills, Harriet could have used this sound. She was a fighter for the freedom of enslaved African Americans in the United States. In the showcase of the work, rescue missions were carried out in the slave network, using the antislavery network known as the underground railway. Later he helped John Brown after the capture of Harpers Ferry's arsenal, and after the war, he fought for suffering for women. In this case, and based on the expert, she could have told them that there was far more involved in this issue of running off slaves than signaling the runaways by imitating the call of a whippoorwill, or even a hoot owl, even more involved on it than just waiting for a clear night when the North star was visible.
