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.
Harriet made 19 trips on the Underground Railroad and helped to free more than 300 slaves. Harriet became known as âMoses of her people,â for leading them to freedom. Harriet had become well known and huge rewards were offered for her capture. Tubman was never caught and never lost a slave in any of her 19 trips. During the Civil War, Harriet was a spy for the Union army.
