Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad

In 1849, Harriet Tubman learned that she and her brothers were to be sold. When owners experienced money problems, it often made it necessary for them to sell persons held in slavery and other property. Tubman’s family had been broken before. Three of Tubman’s older sisters were sold and lost forever to the family and to history.

Tubman and her brothers decided to take their lives into their own hands and make the effort to stay together. They left the property in the darkness of night. But they soon turned back when her brothers, one of them a brand-new father, had second thoughts. Punishment for escaping was severe. A short time later, Tubman escaped alone. She made use of the Underground Railroad to go to Pennsylvania and to freedom. All Northern states had voted to not allow slavery by 1804. Tubman’s biographer, Sarah Bradford, quoted Tubman recalling, “When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in Heaven.”

As a reaction to the cruel institution of slavery, the Underground Railroad was formed in the early nineteenth century. But this railroad was neither underground, nor did it have anything to do with trains. Instead, it was an organization of people who helped persons held in slavery in the United States travel from the South to the North and to freedom. The network provided transportation, money, safe houses, and other resources to the travelers. Details about the routes and the stops were only shared among a few people to protect the entire group. In Southern states, people caught sheltering the travelers could be jailed up to six months and fined. Once travelers reached Northern cities, they received assistance finding jobs and housing from committees of abolitionists that raised money to help them.
