She didn't have seizures, instead she would fall asleep without warning. This was caused by an accident when she was 14. When one of the field hand slaves ran away, the slave overseer chased after him, but so did Harriet. When the slave tried to escape through a doorway in a store that he had run into trying to escape, the overseer threw a weight at the slave, meaning for it to hit him, but it hit Harriet, who was standing in the doorway. Harriet surprisingly lived, but from then on, Harriet could fall asleep at any given time.

Why did Harriet Tubman do what she did if she knew she could die?
She knew that she had to stand up, er.. Sit down against the oppression that was taking place, just like David and Golioth, no one else stood up the the giant cause they were scared, but not David, he stepped up and took out the huge man, that's kinda what Harriet Tubman did on that bus that day... *************************Correction******************************** The Statement above is confusing Harriet Tubman with Rosa Parks. Harriet Tubman is the women who helped to free many slaves by organizing a system call the Underground Railroad. Harriet was an obolitionist (one who fought to end slavery). Yes, she did risk her life for this cause. However, sometimes when you really believe in something, you may be willing to risk your life to affect change. Just ask Martin Luther King.
Who was Harriet Tubman How do you think she and the Northern abolitionists helped each other's cause?
Harriet Tubman was an African American abolitionist and political activist who played a key role in helping enslaved people escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad. Tubman worked closely with Northern abolitionists, who supported her efforts by providing resources, safe houses, and financial aid. In return, Tubman's courageous actions and firsthand experiences as a former slave helped to raise awareness about the horrors of slavery and strengthen the Northern abolitionist movement. Moreover, Tubman's involvement inspired and encouraged other abolitionists to fight for the cause of freedom.
What were Harriet Tubman's actions?
Harriet Tubman wanted to escape slavery so she took people with her to the underground railroad (wasn't really a road) it was just a route that took them to many places so she escaped by night and slept by day. Some people wanted to gO back they thought they were gonna get cought so she never gave up and every person that wanted to leave she killed them cause if they go back the slave owners would start hitting the person until they say were or what location are they at? Also harriet would drug little kids (babies) so they could not start crying. Would u go with Harriet Tubman or not. Shes rough yea, but she escaped.. Those people are now free
