Harriet Tubman Coloring Page

Harriet Tubman was born into slavery in Maryland. She escaped in 1849 and made it to Pennsylvania, but she went back many times to lead others out. The Underground Railroad wasn’t a real railroad but a secret network of people and safe houses. Historians count about 13 trips and roughly 70 people she guided.

During the Civil War she worked as a nurse, a scout and a spy for the Union Army. In 1863 she helped lead a raid on the Combahee River in South Carolina that freed several hundred enslaved people.
