I think that question is more complex then it sounds. Of course Harriet Tubman was against slavery but I don't know if could technically be considered an abolitionist because she was "underground." She could not openly declare or advocate her beliefs because of her position. There were very few black abolitionists because many didn't have the status to advocate anything. Abolitionist usually refers to their white counterparts who had the means to argue politically, while unfortunately many blacks did not have this advantage.

Yes. She worked to free the slaves. Therefore, she was an abolitionist.
