The Underground Railroad
Harriet’s Determination to Help
Harriet found work in Philadelphia, but she was always determined to rescue her family members from slavery, whom she missed dearly. She knew she wanted to help.
“I had crossed the line. I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land; and my home after all, was down in Maryland; because my father, my mother, my brothers, and sisters, and friends were there. But I was free, and they should be free.” – Harriet Tubman
