Hi my name is Harriet Tubman , a black woman and I am a slave in the state of Maryland. I was born there and was raised there with my grandparents and the rest of my family, I have different masters' to obey in order not to get whipped by them on my back . Sometimes, I want to fight back know that my grandfather wouldn't like that so I don't fight back with my master.
One day, I fought back with one of the masters' but instead of myself getting whipped my grandfather was near by and took the whip himself , of course late that day him and I had a talk about what happened , we argued back and froth about it until he told me to forget it about and told me to go to bed so I did , but couldn't stop thinking about what would happened if my grandfather wasn't there to help me. Would I get whipped or would I grab the whip and whipped my master back , until the next day I found out that I was going be sold to a different master and I didn't want that to happen .
So , in the middle of the night I packed my things and left without anyone hearing me and made my way to the under ground rail road to escape and I did it without being caught by anyone . As I was walking from a distance I could hear dogs with men yelling as well so I started to run and as I ran a woman hide me in her house under the floor but as they search everywhere but couldn't find me so they left . The woman so let me out , so I could continue my journey to the north and out of the south . But along the way people helped me not get caught and sent back to my masters' until I did , I finished my journey that I thought I couldn't make .
Of course , I thought it wasn't right that I left my family be hide so late at night I went back for each and everyone of my family bring them with me to the north where we all lived together along with my child and they'er children as well. That was my life as a black slave and my life on how I escaped along with saving my family in process.
