Harriet Tubman

Imagine being born into slavery with all your family members. That’s how Harriet Tubman’s life was. However, she knew one day she can escape from this. Before this she was born throughout 1800 – 1820, her exact birthday is unknown. Harriet is really brave girl. By the age of five Tubman’s owners wanted to rent her to be their slave. Her owners abused her all the time but this didn’t stop her from acting so bad. Her owner Edward Brodas owned her and her mother Harriet Green and her father Benjamin Ross.

Harriet hated when she would get whipped because she thought what she did was wrong wasn’t so wrong. Harriet knew the time will come soon enough to leave this horrible place to be. When Harriet didn’t listen and knew she was going to have a consequence so she will hide with the pigs. She’ll also hide with them when she got hungry during nighttime. By midnight she’ll return home thinking her owner was sleeping, little did she know her owner stayed up all night until she got home and whipped her. Harriet hated this happening to her so she will try not to be so early.
