Harriet Tubman was born in 1820, into a terrible world. She was one of twelve children born to a slave couple. She started work at age seven. Because she was big and strong, Harriet had to work in the fields.
Harriet was often beaten, by the cruel white men.
Then one day she heard of something mysterious called the Underground Railroad. This was a large group of people who were willing to help Negroes to escape to freedom in the Northern States or Canada. It was called a "railroad" so the white people wouldn’t understand them. "Underground" usually means under the ground, but here it means "secret". The routes of the escapees became "railroad lines", the safe resting places along the way became "stations", the people who helped the slaves along this route became "conductors". The more she heard about it, the more excited she became. Would it really be possible to escape to freedom? Could she "ride the freedom train"?
While she was thinking of this, Harriet heard that the slave owner was going to sell a number of the slaves. She would likely be taken further south. The owners in the south were much more cruel to their slaves. Also, she would be separated from her family and her friends. Harriet decided that she would head north along the Underground Railroad, to freedom, instead of south.
One night, Harriet ran quietly across the fields. After a frightening run, she came to a small group of trees, at the far end of the farm. Two men were there in the trees. Harriet was desperately afraid. Would she be caught? One man smiled, and then she knew she was safe, she was with friends. These were her "conductors". Harriet was taken to a barn. She was given food, and a place to lay down. As tired as she was, she was unable to sleep. She was so excited about her new world. This world, she was sure, would be free of beatings, and she would be able to work for herself, instead of working for someone else. [br] Which of the following does not contribute to Harriet’s escape to the North?
