The famous conductor of the Underground Railroad in the 19th century was Harriet Tubman. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped to freedom and dedicated her life to helping others achieve the same. She made numerous trips back to the South, guiding enslaved individuals to safe houses and assisting their escape along the route to freedom in the northern states and Canada. Tubman's bravery and strategic skills earned her the nickname "Moses of her people," and she became a symbol of the struggle for freedom and civil rights.
