HARRIET TUBMAN
Go back
Known as the "Moses of her people," Harriet Tubman was enslaved, escaped, and helped others gain their freedom as a "conductor" of the Underground Railroad. Tubman also served as a scout, spy, guerrilla soldier, and nurse for the Union Army during the Civil War. She is considered the first African American woman to serve in the military. Tubman's exact birth date is unknown, but estimates place it between 1820 and 1822 in Dorchester County, Maryland. Born Araminta Ross, the daughter of Harriet Green and Benjamin Ross, Tubman had eight siblings. By age five, Tubman's owners rented her out to neighbors as a domestic servant. Early signs of her resistance to slavery and its abuses came at age twelve when she intervened to keep her master from beating an enslaved man who tried to escape. She was hit in the head with a two-pound weight, leaving her with a lifetime of severe headaches and narcolepsy. Although slaves were not legally allowed to marry, Tubman entered a marital union with John Tubman, a free black man, in 1844. She took his name and dubbed herself Harriet.

To learn how to read this map you need to decypher a secret message from Harriet Tubman.
Go back
This was a symbol indicating that it was time for slaves to pack up their things and go because a conductor was in the area.
This was a symbol that identified a person who could guide slaves and help themescape along the Underground Railroad.
This symbol indicated broken crockery at some future landmark.
It was necessary to travel in disguise or to change from the clothing of a slave to that of a person of higher status.
This code meant to follow a mountain trail, out of view, and then follow an actual bear’s trail, which would lead to water and food.
This symbol was used in a quilt or drawn on the ground to indicate that it was necessary to seek shelter. Some sources even say it indicated a safe house along the Underground Railroad.
"Freedom Quilts" are quilts made from the symbols which helped the runaway slaves escape.
