To this day Harriet Tubman is still remembered as “The Moses of her people” for good reason. From 1849 to 1860, in 17 dangerous missions to the Confederate South, she helped more than 300 slaves escape to freedom in the North. Harriet Tubman's selflessness and disregard for personal safety along with her deep faith in God enabled her to help family members and many others to escape the chains of slavery. Harriet Tubman continues to inspire countless Americans more than a century after her death.
