Araminta ross, later changed to Harriet tubman achieved many things in her 91 years of life but her most known about achievement is being a underground railroad worker. The second most important is her being a caregiver.Third is her being a civil war spy.Lastly is her being a civil war nurse.In my opinion her most important achievement is her being a underground railroad worker because of the fact that she made a difference in about 300 people's lives making all of them free.

First let's start off with tubman's greatest achievement The underground the Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses used by enslaved people in efforts to escape to free states or Canada. Harriet was one of the people who helped …show more content…
Harriet Tubman helped many people as a spy, without her work helping slaves, it would have been very hard. The reason for this being her greatest achievement was because Tubman was in a very risk situation. Tubman was in enemy territory, a war zone, she was spying for the enemy and was on a gunboat. Tubman also helped many people that day, she helped rescue about eight-hundred people from slavery that day.That was the second everybody knew Harriet Tubman was a hero.

Third, Harriet Tubman’s third greatest achievement was being a Civil War nurse and caregiver. Harriet was a caregiver her entire life but before that, she was a Civil War nurse. Harriet wasn’t a nurse to white people during the war. She was a nurse for the fifty-fourth Massachusetts. The fifty-fourth Massachusetts was the first all black regiment to fight in the Civil War. These men volunteered to be in the war. In class, we looked up how many soldiers survived that were part of the fifty-fourth Massachusetts, we found that about two-hundred were being cared for. Since there were not many nurses Harriet Tubman probably cared for most of them. The risk she was not as high as her other achievements, the risk was at a medium rate because she was in a war zone and could have caught a disease or been killed by enemy fire. Harriet Tubman didn’t give up being a nurse, she was devoted and stayed a nurse all four years of the war.

...Walker English 10H 20 February 2024 The Life of Harriet Tubman Who is Harriet Tubman? Many would say she was an escaped slave who helped others like her gain freedom using the Underground Railroad. However, she is so much more than that.

Living History

...London • Toronto • Sydney • Singapore To my parents, my husband, my daughter and all the good souls around the world whose inspiration, prayers, support and love blessed my heart and sustained me in the years of living history. AUTHOR’S NOTE In 1959, I wrote my autobiography for an assignment in sixth grade. In twenty-nine pages, most half-filled with earnest scrawl, I described my parents, brothers, pets, house, hobbies, school, sports and plans for the future. Forty-two years later, I began writing another memoir, this one about the eight years I spent in the White House living history with Bill Clinton. I quickly realized that I couldn’t explain my life as First Lady without going back to the beginning―how I became the woman I was that first day I walked into the White House on January 20, 1993, to take on a new role and experiences that would test and transform me in unexpected ways. By the time I crossed the threshold of the White House, I had been shaped by my family upbringing, education, religious faith and all that I had learned before―as the daughter of a staunch conservative father and a more liberal mother, a student activist, an advocate for children, a lawyer, Bill’s wife and Chelsea’s mom. For each chapter, there were more ideas I wanted to discuss than space allowed; more people to include than could be named; more places visited than could be described. If I mentioned everybody who has impressed, inspired, taught, influenced and helped me along the way...
