Date of Birth/Place
Harriet Tubman was born between 1820 and 1825. Her exact date of birth is unknown. Her place of birth was in the state of Maryland.

Harriets real name was Araminta Ross. She was nicknamed Harriet after her mother and the name Tubman came from her first husband.

At the age of 5, Harriet began working in her owners house doing everyday chores such as cleaning and preparing meals for the owner's family. At age 12, she began working alongside other slaves in the fields.

Even at the young age of 12, Harriet showed how strong of a woman she was bound to be. During an altercation between an owner and another slave, Harriet stood between them to diffuse the situation. In doing so, she sustained a brain injury that she would have to live the rest of her life with.
In 1849, Harriets first owner passed away and owed a lot of money. Harriet was set to be sold in order to pay off that debt but instead she was bound and determined to escape and become a free woman.

Harriet used the Underground Railroad to move North from Maryland to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
