Harriet Tubman is remembered as an abolitionist, a Civil War spy, and a beacon for freedom-seeking slaves. But she was also a woman who defied simple categorization, according to one of her biographers.
Who Was Harriet Tubman? No one knows the exact year in which Harriet Tubman was born. It may have been 1820 or 1821. Almost everyone thought the birth of a slave baby wasnât worth remembering. Born a slave, Harriet Tubman grew into a brave and daring young woman. She was brave enough to escape from slavery. She was daring enough to help others escape, too.
