Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and social activist. After escaping slavery, Tubman made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including her family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known collectively as the Underground Railroad. During the American Civil War, she served as an armed scout and spy for the Union Army. In her later years, Tubman was an activist in the movement for women's suffrage. Tubman was born into slavery in Dorchester County, Maryland and after escaping to Philadelphia, returned repeatedly to Maryland to rescue her family and other enslaved people. The US Treasury plans to adorn the next version of the $20 bill with Tubman's portrait, replacing Andrew Jackson.
