Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Harriet Tubman: Who Led Slaves to Freedom Slavery wherever it exists is an evil. In 1619 slavery was introduced into North America when twenty Africans were landed in the state of Virginia. There are now in the United States of America 13,000,000 descendants of these slaves who have been free men and women since the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln in 1863. This is the story of one of these former slaves. Harriet Tubman was born about 1820 in a village in the state of Maryland. She was one of eleven children. Her grandparents came from Africa between 1725 and 1750. Some say that they came from Ashanti, others that they were Fellatas. They were slaves working for tobacco planters. Harriet was a small, thin, very black child. She never went to school. When she was five years old she began to work. When she was six she was taken ten miles away from her home to learn weaving. One day she ran away from her mistress who had whipped her for taking a lump of sugar. She hid from Friday until the next Tuesday. By that time she was so hungry that she went back and was flogged by the master of the house. Some slave owners were good to their slaves but Harriet did not meet them. When she was ill she was sent home to her mother´s hut. She always rebelled against her lot. Her father often said to her, "Child, don´t fret so about it all. Heed God and be as good as you best know how to be." Harriet´s parents went to church regularly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
