Upon turning eleven, she changed her name to Harriet to follow her mother's name.

 

Tubman experienced harsh labor conditions and physical violence at an early age. She endured severe headaches and narcolepsy for the rest of her life after an overseer accidentally hit her with a two-pound metal weight. In her twenties, she married John Tubman, a free man. Her desire to escape was ignited upon knowing that her master could separate her from her husband since her status as a slave did not change. She plotted an escape, but Mr. Tubman decided to stay in Maryland. She fled to Philadelphia alone where she met William Still, who taught her the workings of the Underground Railroad.
