It is written about Harriet Jacobs's 1861 "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl", where she writes of her confinement:
"I lived in that little dismal hole… for nearly 7 years. My body still suffers from the effects of that long imprisonment, to say nothing of my soul."

Harriet Tubman was [made] disabled—
meaning an enslaver hit her on the head with a pipe when she was a teenager so she suffered migraines, fainting, and visions (or 'hallucinations') for the rest of her life.
Which makes what she did that much more remarkable.

Harriet Tubman’s Disability and Why it Matters
