Harriet Tubman ran away to the north to escape a master that beat her daily. Her journey to the north was part of an Underground Railway system for runaway slaves. When she reached saftey in the north, she could not be happy until she could free all of her family. After freeing her family, she continued to make the journey, freeing many more slaves. She bacame known as "Moses" by many African-Americans. I admire Harriet Tubman for all her courage to make numerous trips to free her people.
