→Harriet's Life as a Slave: Spelling/Grammar Check, typos fixed: two pound → two-pound
== Harriet's Life as a Slave ==
== Harriet's Life as a Slave ==
Harriet began to work as a house servant around the age of 6, and by the time she was 13 she was working in the fields. Harriet, like most slaves, was constantly abused. At the age of 13, she attempted to prevent another slave from being punished, and as a result had a two pound iron weight thrown at her by the slave's chaser. The weight struck Harriet in the side of the head and caused her to suffer periodic blackouts for the rest of her life. In 1844, Harriet married a free black man, named [[John Tubman]]. Harriet remained a slave, but was allowed to live with him in his cabin.
