Summary
She escaped slavery alone at night. Then went back. Thirteen times. In this episode, we dive deep into the full, extraordinary life of Harriet Tubman — from her brutal childhood on Maryland's Eastern Shore, to her daring escapes on the Underground Railroad, to her secret career as a Union Army spy who led the most successful military liberation raid in American history — freeing over 700 people in a single night. We cover: ✅ Her complete biography — the real story, not the sanitized version ✅ How the Underground Railroad actually worked ✅ Her role as spy, scout & the first woman to lead a U.S. military raid ✅ The Harriet Tubman National Historic Sites — Maryland & Auburn, NY ✅ Where you can actually HIKE the Underground Railroad routes today ✅ The 2019 film "Harriet" ✅ Fascinating lesser-known facts that will leave you speechless This is the Harriet Tubman most history books were too afraid to show you. It's about a woman who carried a pistol, ran a spy network entirely from memory, fought for women's suffrage into her 80s, and built a home for the elderly while living in poverty herself. She was, in every sense, extraordinary. 🗺️ PLAN YOUR VISIT: Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park (MD): nps.gov/hatu Harriet Tubman National Historical Park (Auburn, NY): nps.gov/hart Full Byway Guide: harriettubmanbyway.org 👍 Like, subscribe, and share if this story moved you — because it should. #HarrietTubman #UndergroundRailroad #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #HarrietTubmanMovie #CivilWarHistory #WomensHistory #MosesOfHerPeople #HistoryPodcast #BlackAmericanHistory #HarrietTubmanNationalPark #UndergroundRailroadHistory #CombaheeRiverRaid #Abolitionist #TrueHistory #HistoryFacts #BlackHistoryMonth #AmericanHeroes #HiddenHistory #WomensRights #Suffragi…
