- Harriet Tubman is a former slave who freed her and her family from a plantation. She would return and get other slaves out of their plantations too.
- Support Through the Railroad
- Harriet Tubman, along with other slaves that used the railroad, had a specific safe route that avoided plantations.
- End of the Railroad
- The Fugitive Slave Act enforced the capture and return of slaves. It made it so that slaves that escaped to other states would still be considered slaves.
- Harriet Tubman was associated with other former slaves that wanted to free slaves. This includes Frederick Douglass, who would help guide thousands of slaves to Canada.
- The Railroad ended at Canada, but could have also lead to places in Mexico, Spanish Florida, and Indian Territories. Slaves were safe here, since it was not American territory.
