Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The adjectives the class used to describe Harriet Tubman were fierce, determined, brave, courageous, and caring. Harriet Tubman was born into slavery in Maryland in 1820 and had a very difficult life as a slave. However, she successfully escaped in 1849.

2. At 13 years old, Tubman suffered a traumatic injury that almost killed her when a two-pound weight missed its intended target and hit Tubman in the head instead. Though her mother was able to nurse her back to health, Tubman suffered from epilepsy for the rest of her life.

3. Escaped slaves faced a life of hardship, with little food, infrequent access to shelter or medical care, and the constant threat of local sheriffs, slave catchers or civilian lynch mobs. Plantation owners whose slaves ran away frequently placed runway slave advertisements in local newspapers.
