Harriet Tubman was an inspiration to many people because she stood up for what she believed and what she thought she was right. On her tombstone it reads "Servant of God, Well Done."And that is true without a doubt.

In 1886, Sarah Hopkins Bradford, who had written Harriet's book for her in 1869, issued an expanded version titled, Harriet Tubman, The Moses of her People. They reprinted this book in 1961.

At the turn of the century, Tubman became heavily involved with the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in Auburn. In 1903, she donated a property she owned to the church, under the instruction that it be made into a home for "aged and indigent colored people".[150] The home did not open for another five years, and Tubman was aggravated when the church ordered residents to pay a one-hundred-dollar entrance fee. She said: "[T]hey make a rule that nobody should come in without they have a hundred dollars. Now I wanted to make a rule that nobody should come in unless they didn't have no money at all."[151] She was frustrated by the new rule, but was the guest of honor nonetheless when the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged celebrated its opening on 23 June 1908.[152]

Harriet would not have become a Moses to her people had not God been with her. Raised to fear him, she was at first a surly child, but she learned while young to call upon the Lord for help at any hour of the day and night.
