Storyboard Tekst

  • The Underground Railroad wasn't really a railroad but more a path for enslaved people to follow. There was a whole network of people, homes, and hideouts that we used to help slaves escape north.
  • We almost always traveled at night on the railroad. The hideouts we used could be really far apart. So, sometimes we had to travel 20 miles or more in the middle of the night to avoid being caught or captured.
  • As a conductor, I used the stars in the sky to guide us back to the north.
  • It is important to know that this was a very dangerous job. If I was caught I could have been put back into slavery or even killed. Every time I helped others escape, I was risking my own life to do so.
  • Despite this, I was able to help over 300 slaves find freedom in the north.
  • During the civil war I continued fighting for freedom. I helped the Union Army and was not only a nurse, but a spy!
  • Even after the Civil War ended and slavery was no longer legal, I continued fighting for everyone's rights. I always knew that African Americans and women deserved more equality and respect.
  • I fought for my beliefs for my entire life and never stopped helping others.
  • Thanks to help of Harriet Tubman (and many others) slavery ceased with the end of the Civil War in 1865. In addition, Harriet also helped the women's suffrage movement. Women were finally given the right to vote in 1920 with the ratification of the 19th amendment, just seven years after her passing.
