4 Major Accomplishments of Harriet Tubman

There were many people that were influential in the abolishment of slavery, but few had as profound an impact as Harriet Tubman. She was an African American that was known most for her humanitarian efforts. She was someone who believed deeply in equality and wanted to end slavery. Very few people stand up and fight for what they believe in when all odds are stacked against them like Tubman. It is important to understand what her biggest accomplishments were during her lifetime. Here are some of the major accomplishments of Harriet Tubman.

1. Bringing Slaves to Freedom

One of the things that Tubman was most proud of was her pursuit of freedom for enslaved people. She worked to help people escape slavery and one of the people that worked to help get people through the underground railroad. She worked with slaves to help them find the freedom they were looking for. This was very dangerous, but Tubman never let this hold her back. Due to the efforts of Harriet Tubman, hundreds of slaves found freedom. The people that she helped to free were not all family members. To many people, she was one of the most well known conductors of the underground railroad.

2. Civil War

During the Civil War she was still active in her pursuit of freedom. She even worked as a cook and nurse for the Union Army. She also worked as a spy. This means that she was one of the first women to ever work for the army on an expedition in war. During her expedition, she actually helped to free about 700 more slaves.

3. Land Owner

Tubman was actually able to buy land in 1859 from a fellow abolitionist that was a safe haven for Tubman and her family. She married a veteran of the civil war and also started a family with him soon after.

4. Famous Former Slave

Even though she was a former slave and her family were also slaves, Tubman still gained a lot of fame and notoriety for her involvement in the abolitionist movement. She could have been satisfied with being free herself, but she never settled. She did not want to be free if her family could not join her and this led her to help bring others to freedom. She was not afraid of the danger that this put her in or the target that it made her. Her ultimate goal was always freedom.
