“When she escaped on September 17, 1849, Tubman was aided by members of the Underground Railroad. ... Harriet was nicknamed “Moses” by abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. The name was used as an analogy to the biblical story of Moses who attempted to lead the Jews to the Promised Land and free them from slavery.”
