Frederick Douglas was at the forefront of the U.S. abolitionist movement in the 19th century, and he is particularly well known for his autobiography, "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Written by Himself" (1845; revised and completed in 1882 as "Life and Times of Frederick Douglass"), which gives an account of his escape from slavery and his pursuit of literacy, education, and independence. The work established Douglass as the leading African American man of letters of his time.

Below is the article summary. For the full article, see Harriet Tubman.

Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery in the South to become a leading abolitionist before the American Civil War. She led hundreds of enslaved people to freedom in the North along the route of the Underground Railroad—an elaborate secret network of safe houses organized for that purpose. Tubman was also known as Araminta Ross, daughter of Benjamin Ross and Harriet "Rit" Green. Tubman was born c. 1820 in Dorchester, Maryland and died March 10, 1913 in Auburn, NY. She was married to John Tubman, 1844-1849; married to Nelson Davis, 1869-1888. During the Civil War, Harriet Tubman was also a secret spy and military leader. In 1863, Harriet Tubman led soldiers with Colonel James Montgomery to raid rice plantations along the Combahee River in South Carolina. They set fire to buildings, destroyed bridges, and freed many of the slaves on the plantations.
