Harriet Tubman is one of the most important leaders in American history. To begin with Harriet Tubman was determined to escape slavery since she was only eight years old. Second she was very busy because she had to make a fire in her hiding spot and she had to learn to swim in order to escape. Also she was hard-working because she had to make some potatoes, get some muskrats, and she had to work in the fields. As you can see Harriet Tubman was a very important person because she worked hard, saved others, was helpful, saved animals, and was free from slavery.
