My Favorite Public Hero

Harriet Tubman was born in the year 1820. Harriet Tubman was a African American, Union spy during the U.S Civil War. After escaping from captivity, She went back and rescued seventy other slaves. The way she accomplished this was by creating a network called the under ground rail road. Witch was just secret Hide out that they would create or find. They also created there own way of communication by hanging sheets with certain stains or colors and at a certain time. The reason i consider her a hero is because she cared about her raise and she believed in freedom for all. She also had to go through a lot of stuff as a child, And just thinking about the fact that she was beat as a little girl and now she's freeing people from slavery is amazing. Not every body liked Harriet Tubman many people wanted to kill her because she was freeing slaves from the people who owned them. But her raise loved her because she was worrying about others and she was helping them out.
