They may have been referring to the number of family members that she helped to escape. The usual list shows she had 8 brothers and sisters, and she would have made 9. Perhaps there was another half-brother or half-sister as well.

Harriet Tubman was born into slavery, and family structures were often disrupted under such conditions. While it is believed that she had nine siblings, the exact number of siblings and their names can be difficult to verify due to limited records from that time. Additionally, there may have been extended family members living nearby who were considered siblings in a broader sense.

What was Harriet Tubman's Motivation?

Harriet Tubman was motivated by the fact that there were over 300 slaves that needed her help to escape to Canada where slavery is against the LAW! Another one is that her Husband John Tubman didn't go with her because he said she would get caught! Then Harriet decided to show her Husband that she can do it, and belive it or not Harriet succeded!


What were some effective methods that Tubman used to motivate the escapes?

One thing i know is that many slaves (including Harriet Tubman) would make up songs that were actually in a secret code saying things like: go to the house with a quilt hanging they are abolitionists, they can help you escape, or they would just say things like how they wanted their masters to die.


What does harriet Tubman mean by you live free or die?

Tubman often said something to this effect to fugitive slaves who were having second thoughts, maybe turning back to the plantation. She was basically saying, "Unacceptable. You're going to either make it to freedom with me or die right here today, because I'm not letting you comprimise this escape mission or the Underground Railroad". Fugitive slaves returning to their owners were viciously beaten - for both punishment and vital information that could endanger fellow slaves on the run.

Are android 17 and android 18 siblings?

It depends on how you look at them, they where both created by Dr.Gero just as siblings have the same parents, so in that way they are, however in order to be siblings they would have to be human, saying that two machines are siblings would be like saying that two phones are siblings because they where both made at the same time, so in my opinion they are not siblings.
