During the 1800’s, many people like Harriet Tubman or the Quakers, did exactly that and went against slavery laws to do what they knew was the right.

    Harriet Tubman is best known for her work on the Underground Railroad, though it is debatable if this was her greatest achievement. Harriet Tubman was also a Union spy, a Civil War nurse, and a caretaker in her lifetime. Harriet Tubman (known then as Araminta “Minty” Ross) was born a slave in 1822.
