how did harriet tubman affect the development of the U.S?

Answer 1

I think she was the black lady who used to smuggle slaves from the south to Canada. Im not sure if she had any direct influence in the abolition of slavery seems more like remembered for her brazen bravery and a mastery of disguise.

Answer 2

She invented the Underground Railroad to help free many slaves. Yet the Underground Railroad wasnt really a railroad with a train underground. Mostly, it was just bringing slaves into the woods and there were kinda like checkpoints in people's houses so the slaves would stay in the basement for a day or two then continue on their way until they reached their destination.

Answer 4

Indirectly by giving all those slaves a the chance of freedom.
Their offspring have been free to get education and become doctors, lawyers, congressmen and so on.
Empirically they must have ( therefore traceable back to her), changed the course of American history in many ways.
Based on the fundamental chance principle, at least one of those descendants will have saved the life, by being (for example) a doctor, of somebody important in the history of America or maybe even been a master criminal!

she affected the development by
