Herriet Tubman

Name- Herriet Tubman

Age- 30

Year- 1849

Herriet Tubman was living a life as a slave. She was born into the slave world and treated unfairly and not as an equal. She had to stay up the whole night to take care of a baby and work for years on a plantation. She was sold around just like you would sell an animal. Nobody has the right to torture someone else. However, Herriet was brutally beaten and starved while she was living the life of a slave. She would be beaten if she slacked on her work at all. Even if she fell asleep while she was watching a baby she would get whipped.
