Hello, My name is Catori Todd.

I love to do projects about Harriet Tubman.

• Harriet Tubman was born in 1820, Dorchester Country, Maryland.

Harriet Tubman was reverently called "Moses" by the hundreds slaves she helped to freedom and the thousands of others she inspired.

                 ..:Her Early Life:..

Her early life as a slave had been filled with abuse, at the age of 13, when she attempted to save another slave from punshiment, she was strunk in the head with a two-pound iron weight. She was also a runayway slave. When Harriet Tubman was 10 years old she led hundreds of of slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad. But she later became a leader in the abolitionist movement.
