Harriet Tubman is the most well-known of all the Underground Railroad "conductors."
Born into slavery in Maryland, Harriet Tubman escaped to freedom in the North in 1849. However, she was not satisfied with just her own freedom. She would risk her life to lead her family members and other slaves from the plantation system to freedom on this elaborate secret network of safe houses. During a 10-year span, Tubman actually made 19 trips into the South and escorted over 300 slaves to freedom.
The five-foot-tall abolitionist is among history’s most famous Americans-a woman with extraordinary courage, ingenuity, persistence, and iron discipline. Revered by some of her era’s most influential minds and given nicknames like “Moses” and “General,” she brought hope to generations of Americans, enslaved and free.

Harriet Tubman, "I could have freed more slaves if they only knew they were slaves!" Thank you for this post!!

[@lindaparker6102]

INJURYCOMP OMG, what a statement ! Brings chills up & down my spine !

[@anpdm1]

I doubt Harriet Tubman said this. Slaves knew they were slaves, it was branded into their skin. No one mistakes forced labor for freedom. Harriet's story has been retold by a lot of white women. This quote says slavery wasn't so bad for those that liked it. Which writing is Harriet verbatim? This video says she freed 300, others say 20-70. Actual numbers would lend some credibility to trending Harriet, otherwise it looks like propaganda.

"I had reasoned this out in my mind, I there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; If I could not have one, I would have the other." -Harriet Tubman

[@SGzCMH]

4:33 The Underground Railroad was NOT established by white abolitionist and sympathizers. Majority of all those involved in the Underground Railroad who had safe homes were freed black people. There were hardly any white people involved in her efforts. You can literally count those white people involved on one hand. I went to Harriet Tubman's history visiting center and found out those who established and help contribute to Underground Railroad were majority all black people. However, this narrative that their was so many white people who established the Underground Railroad to help the same black people their ancestors help to enslaved is one of the biggest lies in all of American history! #facts

[@jacquelyndavis6493]

I don't think the underground railroad would have survived if it wasn't for those white people. Think about it. Why would slave hunters trust free blacks not helping their enslaved, especially in the south? They would have never made it without those white people just like a lot of politicians now can't win without black vote. Everyone need everyone else at some point or another

[@dennisgutierrez5918]

Quakers were helping since George Washington's days. While the majority of safe houses were black, Quakers along Ms Tubamn's route did help. Then, after Ms Tubman escaped, she was invited by people like Susan B Anthony to give speeches (to white people) so that they could learn directly from Ms Tubma, about the atrocities of savery. These speeches raised money and helped fund the Underground Railroad.

[@alexandragomez2179]

Thank you for this. Harriet Tubman was a pivotal person in history. The more I learn about her the more I think she was a messiah sent by God.

You cannot dismiss and minimize something that has bearing on our everyday existence in this Country. I would love for the stories of kingdoms ruled in Africa to be told. There is no reason why one true life story has to be excluded to tell the other. The one thing that the story of the Slave has given us is the story of THE FIGHT that must continue. You erase the Slave story, you lose foundation and you lose the fight.

And by the way. You said you haven't seen the story. How old are you? Do you have kids? I can assure you that when the movie Lincoln came out, which depicted events leading up to the Civil War, white folks took their children to see it. They take there families to see the White story, regardless of what era is was.

precious pearl here are some of the lies. Slaves weren’t respected workers. There was no black bounty killer. Slave patrol only consisted of white men and women. In fact white men and women were only allowed to be armed. Whites feared a black person armed. Also Janelle Monáe character was made up. There was so much more the director could have highlighted about her life. They left out a lot. I get why some people are outraged.

(This was the route of the Atlantic Slave Trade. Black skinned people are not all the same race or origin. Any black person removed due to slavery are Israelites. We are one huge family from the sons of Jacob, dispersed and scattered as God has stated. God don't see us as Africans, because the Hebrews came into Africa they was not already there.)

How did they know if the slaves were free or not in the north?

[@BlackExcellist]

I was thinking the same thing. I’m sure there were a lot of “illegal” abductions where blacks who were never slaves to begin with were kidnapped and sold into slavery down South by overzealous “bounty hunters”. It’s really jacked up just thinking about it...

[@tcg1972]

They had to carry their freedom papers wherever they went but some were abducted anyway by southern bounty hunters and thrown into slavery. The movie 12 Years A Slave is about a free black man who was abducted and sold into slavery for 12 years.

They had to have papers. You know they guarded them with their lives.

[@jackieburns5257]

Some were kidnapped like in the film 12 years.
