=Harriet Tubman=

__**Phase 1**__
Harriet Tubman was a black woman who was a slave in her childhood life. After she ran away, she helped hundreds of other slaves escape, using the Underground Railroad System. Finally after reaching freedom herself, she also served as a cook, nurse and spy for the North during the Civil War. She was a very determined and brave woman who was honored and admired for her efforts, helping slaves and abolishing slavery. I was very interested in her, since she was a person that had great leadership and a strong attitude. Despite that she was a black woman who was being searched for all over, she kept her mind straight on helping others and helping abolish slavery. I admired her boldness and wanted to know more about her.

I already knew that Harriet Tubman was a black woman who helped many slaves escape through the Under Ground Railroad System. Furthermore, I knew that she had a very brave and focused mind on setting slaves free.

Some questions that came into my mind was that how did Harriet hide herself and the other slaves so well without getting caught? Since she had never let a slave that she helped set free get caught. Furthermore, in times of hardships, how did she keep herself brave, and have faith?

"How did Harriet Tubman's strong and disciplined attitude affect people around her, now and then?"**
 * My primary historical question is:

__**Phase 2**__
//What is your historical question?// "How did Harriet Tubman's strong and disciplined attitude affect people around her, now and then?"

//What Information do you expect to find during your research?// I expect to find how slaves and people in the Union benefited from Harriet's work and determination back then. Furthermore, I expect to see how her work affected people who were for slavery. Lastly, I will expect to find many books and monuments built and written as a sign of honor that inspired people.

//What information resource(s) will you first use to find the answer to your question?// I would first use the internet, finding articles containing biographies, journals, or quotes written by or dedicated to Harriet Tubman. If not, I would further look into this by reading books from the library about her.
