Step-by-step explanation:
Tubman was born as a slave in Maryland's Dorchester County around 1820. She worked in and near the big mansion, but lived in a small hut far away from it. The hut didn’t have any furniture, windows, or flooring. She had 10 siblings. She was also the 6th of the 11 children. Her family was owned by a man named Edward Brodas.
When Harriet was “hired out” to work for someone else, she looked around and saw a bowl filled with sugar. When she finished, she said, “Now you know, I never had anything good, no sweet, no sugar, and the sugar right by me did look so nice.” When Harriet’s mistress, Miss Susan, saw her eating the sugar, she ran towards her whip. Meanwhile with Harriet, she ran out of the house, and hid behind the pigs. She ate scraps until she was hungry, and ran back to the house. But when she did, Mrs. Susan whipped her over and over again.
Edward Brodas sold crops that his slaves picked, and sometimes even sold slaves. One time, Harriet saw two of her sisters chained up and taken away. From that sight, Harriet was afraid she would be sold away from her family one day. When Harriet was young, abolitionists were beginning to speak out and protest, Abolitionist newspapers were being published.
In 1835, Harriet got in a way of a master and a slave who was running away. The master got angry and threw a metal weight at the runaway, but it ended up hitting Harriet, and almost killing her. Harriet had a deep cut on her forehead from that incident that never fully healed. For around the next eighty years, she suffered from headaches. But she always survived and thanked God for helping her. She often prayed after getting hit by the metal weight.
In 1844, Harriet met John Tubman. He wasn’t a slave. She soon fell in love with him and they got married. She wanted to run away, and wanted John to run with her, but he declined. He said that if she ran away, he would tell her master and the patrollers and dogs would be after her. Harriet made up her mind and started planning her escape.
Harriet escaped at night with 3 of her brothers but they decided to go back and made Harriet go back as well. Two nights later, Harriet went alone. She said, “I had a right to liberty or death,” she said after her escape. ‘If I could not have one, I would have the other.” Harriet ran to the house of a white woman who offered her help. The woman told Harriet which house to go to next. The second house directed Harriet to another house farther north. This soon led to it being known as the Underground Railroad. Harriet Hid during the day and traveled at night. She soon reached Pennsylvania, and there was a law against owning slave, there she became a free woman.
