Fun Facts! :D

Would you like to know some fun facts about Harriet Tubman? I thought so. Well, here is one for you. When she was fifteen she was hit in the head with a two pound lead weight. OWIEE! There is a very unreasonable explanation behind this. One day, a slave was attempting to escape and Harriet was trying to stop him. The slave owner saw him while Harriet was standing between the two. The slave owner threw a 2 pound lead weight and it hit Harriet. That sucks. Want another? How about, the fact she left her husband. Her husband was a not very nice person. When she told him about her plan to escape he got very mad. He told her if she attempted to escape he would leave her and send her “farther down the river.” That meant that he was going to send her farther south to a new slave owner. See, I told you he was not very nice. Well, after he told her that she snuck out in the middle of the night and successfully escaped. Yayyy(: The last fun fact I have for you is about her threats. If a slave ever tried to turn back in the middle of an escape she would pull out her rifle and say, “Move or die.” Eekk! This is one of the reasons she never lost a single slave.
