Harriet Tubman

Araminta Ross, born in Maryland around 1820, worked both as a house slave and a field worker for a family in Dorchester County. Ross was an advocate for slaves' rights and was even hit at one point by a brick while protecting a fellow field worker. As a result, Ross had to deal with a condition that sent her into bouts of deep sleep, presumably narcolepsy, for the rest of her life. In 1844, Ross married John Tubman and took his last name while changing her first to Harriet.

James Armistead, who was born in 1759 into slavery, was most known for being a black spy during the Revolutionary War and helping the American patriots achieve victory. At the age of 21, Armistead volunteered to be a spy and was sent by General Lafayette to provide false information on American movements to the British. Armistead's willingness to work soon won over British General Cornwallis, and Armistead soon gained privilege to British battle plans.
