Why did Harriet Tubman and Fredrick Douglass do?

Harriet Tubman and Fredrick Douglass were abolitionists during slavery. Even though they both were against slavery, they dealt with it in different ways. Harriet Tubman lead slaves to freedom through the Underground Railroad and Fredrick Douglass was a public speaker and author in order to teach morality. Eventually they both ended working together.

Both were born into slavery, and escaped into slavery. While Tubman physically guided slaves along the route to freedom, Douglass wrote and spoke to white audiences about the travails of living first as a slave and then as a black man, subject to the racism of the time.
