Harriet Tubman was a leader. To begin with Harriet Tubman was determined to escape slavery. She planned on escaping since she was a little. Another reason Harriet Tubman was a leader because she obeyed her mother and father. She also obeyed the master’s wife. In addition she obeyed the master. Third she was helpful to the people who also escaped. When she was 8, she helped the trapped muskrats to escape. Finally she was brave when she started to run away, and when she stood up for herself when her doll got burned and when she left her mom and dad behind.
