One of the most important figures in the anti-slavery movement was Frederick Douglass. Douglass fought for emancipation and ultimately for black men to gain full citizenship (Egerton, p. 89). He spread many ideas that would cause black people to have similar ideas about freedom. He contributed to the emergence of collective reflection on slaves. Furthermore, Douglass stated that there were sacrifices that must be made for freedom but that "no power on earth could deny that he had earned the right of citizenship in the United States." (Egerton. P.36) Another very important figure was Harriet Tubman. His actions were very distinct from those of Douglass, but both nevertheless worked toward the same goal. Tubman led the Combahee Ferry raid. She acted as a spy and led the Union army to victory. Harriet was a former slave and because of this “they talked nonsense, (…) so it became important that they accompany them (…) to control and obtain information” (Brandford, p.39) for the raids along rivers and others. plantations. Through his actions, Tubman proves the previous depiction of the slave to be false. She showed the Union army that slaves could be useful in combat. Tubman took many risks and opportunities to gain the union's trust
