Harriet+Tubman+--+Nineteenth+Century+by+trackchick58

"I had reasoned this out in my mind, 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

"I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger."-Harriet Tubman

My defintition of a hero is someone smart, caring, and strong. Someone who goes out their way to help others. Someone who knows what to do and when to do it. Someone others can count on.

1) (done)

When they lived, where they lived, who they were trying to help, why, how, and why was it important

2) - Born into slavey in 1820 - Dorchester County, Maryland - trying to help other slaves escape and be free - so blacks could be free to be there own people - with the under ground railroad ( she went back frequently to free slaves and she traveled using the under ground railroad) - it was important because she knew once she freed her self she was going to help other slaves be free as well. And also because she didnt do it for fame she did it to help others!!!! (done)

What makes your person a hero--you must prove that your person meets the criteria of your own personal definition

3) - she fits my description because harriet was smart about escaping by herself and even smarter by going back and helping others slaves escape - caring: she went back to help other blacks be free and have their own lives, which means she cares about others - strong: she went through so much when she was a slave, but she never gave up hope and kept going till she decided she was going to escape. - she went out of her way to help other blacks get out and those other blacks got to be free and have their own lifes!!!!! -know what to do and when to do it: she knew she was going to help other slaves and she knew to do it at night when no slave owner was awake or around to see her. - can count on: the slaves counted on her to help them escape

4) - Harriet Tubman was a caring, strong women who was a part of freeing slaves. Not only did she free other slaves but she was a slave her self and ran away to be free and after a while being free, decided to help others be free as well. She was determined to help others, so she is remembered now as someone who has done selfless acts to help others.

5) The advice I think Harriet would give kids is to never give up always have faith. Always do what you think is right and be proud of what you have accomplished. And when the day is done know you will always have a friend!!!!!

Harreit Tubman, we have all heard of her but do we really know what she did and why anyone would consider her a hero? Well, I know what she did and I consider her a hero because not only did she free herself from slavery, she was an underground railroad conductor and freed other slaves as well. Also she proved to herself and others that she is a smart, caring, and strong women, who goes out their way to help others, who knows what to do and when to do it, and a women others can count on. Harriet Tubman was born into slavery in 1820 in Dorchester County, Maryland. Harriet Tubman was determined to help free slaves, so they could be free to have there own lives. Harriet Tubman helped free slaves by using the underground railroad because it was safer and easier to manage. Most importantly she new once she was free she wabted to help others be free, as well.

Harriet Tubman fits my description of a hero because she was a smart women who after escaped went back to rescue the rest of her family. After she rescued her family, she went back and she rescued others. I think that when she finished rescuing her family and helped others escape proved that she is a caring and considerate person. Harriet went through a harsh childhood, she was beat and whipped, and the racist comments but she stayed strong and she put up with it till she could escape.

I also consider Harriet a hero because she rescued her family, but others slaves, too. She was said to have rescued about 300 slaves in her time of being an underground railroad conductor. She defiantly went out of her way to help those other slaves. Harriet also knew that using the underground railroad was a safer way to help rescue the other slaves. I think it's amazing how those slaves look up to her to help them be free.

Harriet's legacy or what we remember her by is that she was a wonder-ful helpful women who cared more about others than about herself which may not always work out well, but for Harriet it worked out great. The way I remember her most by is that she does selfless acts and doesn't even think twice about it, she is a smart, caring women who makes a excellent role model or in this case a hero.

Harriet Tubman is a wise women, so the advice I think she would give the youthful would be to never give up and always have faith. Always do what you think is right and be proud of what you have accomplished.Dont let anybpdy tell you that you cant because you need to know that you can. And when the day is done, know you will always have a friend! The one thing I wanna leave you off with is, If you could meet your 19th century hero, would you and what would you say?????
