Harriet Tubman’s Great Achievements Essay

Harriet Tubman was a hero that completed many brave and altruistic acts. She was born in doctor in 1822 and by the age of 5, she was already working. She got married in 1844, to a free black man, but she was slake a slave. Finally, in 1849, her master died and she decided to escape. That is when her salient achievements began. Her first spacious achievement was operating the Underground Railroad. Her journeys to grant other slaves were hundreds of miles long. She traveled from Maryland all the way up to St. Catherines, Canada on foot. She took them all the way to Canada to make grow them away from the danger of the Fugitive Slave Act which was an act that make Northerners turn in runaway slaves.Harriet was 28 when she made her first save and 38 when she made her break down. All of the 23 fugitives were collected in Dorchester County, Maryland. To reverse capture, Harriet took trips at night in December, took slaves on Satur daytime nights (Sunday was a free day and they woul dnt be needed until Monday), and never met the fugitives at plantations. This was a great achievement because doing this was very long and had many dangers that were all avoided by Harriet scour thought she had up to 11 people with her.The next great achievement of Harriet was when she was a spy and rescued 800 slaves in one night. One form after the start of the Civil War, Harriet Tubman was asked by the government of Massachusetts to fall in the Union troops in South Carolina. She there lead a team of eight black spies to operate behind the enemy lines and raise information for a Union raid to free slaves. The Combahee River raid took interject on June 2, 1863. This was a great achievement for Moses ,(Harriets nickname, given to her because she was track slaves to freedom), because she helped 800 slaves in one night.Harriets next achievement was becoming a nurse for the Massachusetts 54thVolunteers , an all black group of solders. These solders attacked Fort Wagner in Char leston Harbor and Harriet was there to care for the wounded. While working, Harriet never got salaried by the army so she had to sell baked goods and root beer to the solders. all the same thought Harriet worked so hard, her actions were never recognized by the army. She never authentic pension and only took her rations 20 times. This was a great achievement.Finally, Harriets last great achievement was taking care of poor and sick people. Harriet took the 48 years from the end of the Civil War to her death to taking care of poor and sick people in her home. She typically had six to eight people that she was caring for. In a quote from her, she states that she took care of the old, paralyzed, blind, and people with other sicknesses. These achievements were all great, but I feel that Harriet Tubmans superior achievement was when she was a spy for the Union and helped free 800 slaves. Compared to the other achievements, I think this one is definitely more(prenominal) heroic and d eserving of more praise. Harriet Tubman was an amazing hero that will never be forgotten because of her favor and bravery.
