自奴隸身份脫逃後，海麗特塔布曼多次往返於贊成奴隸制度的各州內，幫助其他的奴隸逃亡。她將這些奴隸安全的帶到北方各州及加拿大。身為逃亡奴隸是十分危險的一個身份。到處都有重金緝捕逃亡奴隸的公告；圖中的公告鉅細彌遺的陳述奴隸的外形及特徵。每當塔布曼帶領一群奴隸奔向自由時，她就面臨了極大的風險。因為她本身是個逃亡奴隸，而且她幫助其他奴隸逃亡的舉動也違反了贊成奴隸制度的南方法律，所以南方懸賞重金緝捕她。當那些逃亡的奴隸開始害怕並想要回頭時，您認為塔布曼會怎麼處理？
　

After Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery, she returned to slave-holding states many times to help other slaves escape. She led them safely to the northern free states and to Canada. It was very dangerous to be a runaway slave. There were rewards for their capture, and ads like you see here described slaves in detail. Whenever Tubman led a group of slaves to freedom, she placed herself in great danger. There was a bounty offered for her capture because she was a fugitive slave herself, and she was breaking the law in slave states by helping other slaves escape. What do you think Tubman did when someone she was helping became frightened and wanted to turn back?
