Stella+K.+-+I+am+Harriet+Tubman

My “I AM” person is Harriet Tubman. She is an African America and is known for saving over a hundred slaves. My interest in her was not the fact about her being an African American but it was about her courageousness. Before I started to research about her I knew that she was a famous African American who saved a lot of lives. I also knew that she was related to the “underground railroad” and the North Star. Even though I didn’t research about her I learned all these basic facts about her because back in the states she was honored during the Black History Month. She had contributed a lot about slaves and freedom to the history of America. I had some questions in mind while I researched about her. First I was wondering why she had quit saving slaves. Did she regret not saving most of them? If she was alive today do you think she’ll be happy or not? What difference would’ve been made if Harriet Tubman never existed? Why did Harriet Tubman keep her first husbands surname? Why hadn’t Tubman leaver her work to someone else when she retired?


 * Why didn't Harriet leave her work to someone else after she retired?**
