Central Idea Summary of “Harriet Tubman – Conductor of the Underground Railroad”
Harriet Tubman learned some difficult lessons in the first six years of her life. First of all, she became very aware that she and her family were slaves and had to talk to white people differently. In addition, she was taught how to use the North Star as a guide so she would not get lost. Harriet also learned about fear and knew to fear the Patrollers, who hunted runaway slaves. These lessons could not have been easy for Harriet Tubman, a six year old little girl.
