Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad

Harriet Tubman led a remarkable life as an abolitionist, emancipator of slaves, military spy, and advocate for women's rights. Tubman helped lead more than seventy slaves out of captivity and guide them to freedom along the Underground Railroad. When the Civil War broke out, Tubman guided an expedition of Union soldiers on a raid in South Carolina that freed over seven hundred slaves.
