but this has to do with maryland

Harriet Ross Tubman, was born a slave on a plantation in Dorchester County, Maryland, in 1820. She escaped to freedom when she was twenty-five, but returned to Maryland to establish an "underground railroad" where she conducted over 300 slaves to freedom. During the Civil War, she served as a nurse and a spy for the Union. Though she was a victim of many beatings and sustained a severe head injury while attempting to protect a fleeing slave, Tubman was not deterred from her destined course as the "Black Moses" of her people. She is said to have rescued some 300 slaves, including her aging parents, from the slaveholding plantations they were escaping. Her efforts were so successful that a $40,000 reward was issued for her capture. Despite the risk of being captured, she continued to help runaway slaves.
