Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman, who is closely identified with the Underground Railroad, was born into slavery and eventually managed to escape. She, on the other hand, dedicated herself to ensuring the freedom of other people. Through a network of antislavery activists and safe homes, she personally led 13 operations to rescue more than 70 additional slaves. This network is now known as the Underground Railroad. Furthermore, throughout the Civil War, Tubman continued her fight for independence by serving as an army scout and spy for the Union Army, which helped to further her cause.
