Harriet Tubman felt like a different person after crossing into a free state because she experienced a profound sense of liberation from slavery, coupled with a new identity as a leader in the abolitionist movement. Although she felt excitement and empowerment from her newfound freedom, she also confronted feelings of insecurity about her safety. This mix of emotions highlighted the complex nature of her transition from enslavement to freedom.
