The correct answer is "Was a fugitive slave who risked her life many times to bring others out of slavery."

Harriet Tubman was one of the individuals responsible for the escape of thousands of slaves through the Underground Railroad. This chain of secret houses where slaves could travel to was spearheaded by Tubman. House by house, these individuals led by Tubman would travel North until they reached a free territory or state. Tubman's bravery is well recorded in American history and makes her one of the most famous individuals of the Antebellum period.
