"I had crossed the line. I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land." She also freed many more during a Civil War raid. Name that famed escaped slave.

Harriet Tubman led the first woman-led raid in the Civil War. Not only did she ferry slaves to freedom in the Underground Railroad, but she also served as an intelligence agent for the Union, gathering information and, later, leading the way alongside Union Colonel James Montgomery in raiding plantations, freeing more than 720 slaves on the mission. Tubman described the slaves escaping en masse as like "the children of Israel, coming out of Egypt".
