why did harriet decide to escape​

Answer 1

Answer:

The death of her master brought more uncertainty over her and her brothers' futures. They had already seen three of their sisters being sold and she was not going to let that happen to them. She resolved that trying to escape, even if they were caught, was a better option than being sold to the south.
