I was born as the property of a plantation owner at 1820 in Maryland.
             In my youth I was hit much by my masters while I did the housework for them.
             At the age of 13 I started working on the farm. That was much better than the housework, because I could talk with my family and friends.
             At the age of 14 I was ijured by a stone, because I wanted to help another slave.
             Since that day, I fall sometimes suddenly asleep and then wake up if nothing has happened.
             In 1844 I married John Tubmann. I really loved him but he didn‘t have the same strong will to escape that I had. However, in 1849 I escaped to the house of a white woman who has often helped slaves to run away and went to Pennsylvania, which was a state where holding slaves is illegal.
             Of course, on one hand I was very happy and couldn‘t really believe that I was free but on the other hand I had to leave my famaily and friends. So I decided to become a conductor in the Underground Railroad which was an organisation that helped slaves to escape.
             I returned 19 times to the South and although I didn‘t have much money and slave owners tried often to stop me, I could help many blacks there.
             The situation between the North and the South became more and more difficult so the Civil War broke out in 1861. I became a general and fought for the North.
             The North won the war and alavery was forbidden all over the USA.
             Now the ex-slaves were free but of yourse very poor.
             I spent almost all my money on helping slaves, later I got 20$ from the government.
             I died on March 13, 1913 ate the age of 93.
