Born Araminta Ross around 1822, Harriet Tubman began her life in slavery in Maryland. Her different masters were violent and vicious, causing Tubman a traumatic head wound in one instance when she was hit by a heavy metal weight. In 1849, she escaped her masters and ended up in Philadelphia—but she then immediately chose to dedicate her life to helping other slaves. In total, Tubman conducted 13 missions that rescued nearly 100 slaves through a network of antislavery activists and dedicated safe houses that made up the Underground Railroad. Tubman and her soon-to-be-freed travel companions escaped under the cover of night, heading north and only stopping at safe locations along the way. Over those 13 trips, Harriet Tubman never lost a “passenger,” getting every slave to safety and freedom.
