Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and political activist. She was the one who used the underground railroad to rescue approximately seventy enslaved people. She took trips back and forth until all of the slaves she could help were in a safer environment.

She was important because she saved a lot of people in that time from the torture of slavery.

Hope this helps!
