Freedom is about the right to choose, back then you had to ask yourself, once you had your Freedom, what would you do with that Freedom? Turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Slaves and do nothing? or take a stand and say this is wrong and it has to stop?
After 1850 it wasn't enough just to get across the Mason-Dixon Line, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 gave Slave Owners and Bounty Hunters the right to go north and reclaim Runaway Slaves and they had Federal Backing after that law was passed, you weren't really Free until you got to Canada
I love studying the life of Harret Tubman. In chlldhood I had the desire to turn back time and join her. In a way, its sad that her story is the one almost overly used to describe the underground railroad. So many more people were part of the process. Brave souls traveled up north in search for their God given right of freedom. I hope we continue teaching the future generations about this period of our past as an example of how easliy humanity can accept evil. May we never return!
Harriet Tubman was very brave for bringing her people to the promise land. I really admire her for her bravery and for her compassion to other slaves. :)
I always found it weird that these white people (quakers, conductors etc) aren't revered in history to the same extent as the theiving genocidal maniacs that schools usually focus on
it is great because...... in school our theme is faces in many places and we got people to research about and i got Harriet Tubman and so i went to you tube and found the correyt video but i was really trying to find a drawing Harriet Tubman video because in class i am assigned to draw her! so if you can find some where to do it post and let me know ok and i like this movie!
thanks for puttin this video up. i really luv the whole thing from part 1-6. i saw the whole thing at school (e.s.) and i just started cryin cuz its supa sad! especially part 5! also do u know wat the song is on this one?? i luv it!
I also read in the book and states "Moses" is a code name they call Harriet for her heroic efforts in bringing slaves to the north. So if any of the slaves hear the code name "Moses", it was the chance to escape and be free
i remmember an old story about men who took slaves across the border. one man was named peg-leg jim. used a method of leaving pepper on the trail behind them so the dog's couldn't find them.
She was amazing
