Harriet Tubman is renowned for her pivotal role in the "Underground Railroad," a network that helped enslaved African Americans escape to freedom in the 19th century.

Born into slavery, Tubman escaped in 1849 and subsequently made numerous trips back to the South, guiding others to safety. She used various strategies, including disguises and secret routes, to evade capture. Tubman’s bravery and determination earned her the nickname "Moses," as she led many to freedom. Her efforts not only contributed to the abolitionist movement but also highlighted the resilience and courage of those seeking liberation.
