Intra-Class Clique of Race TraitorsSo many comments in this thread should start with, "I'm not a racist, but..."
The union freed over 700 slaves. Tubby saved almost 70. In another minute you'll have Tubby winning the civil war single handedly. She belongs in a museum not on our money. She did nothing for the nation, just a small subset of individuals.Check your history. It wasn't 700 people. It was 70, and most of those were her own family.Time to put Ronald Reagan on a bill. Tubman is a footnote in US history, Reagan a chapter.Only pictures of past Presidents should be on our bills.
"Two years ago this week, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced redesigns for the $20, $10, and $5 bills that would honor civil rights and women’s rights icons: Tubman, Alice Paul, and Marian Anderson. Lew said the new note designs would debut by 2020, 100 years after women gained the right to vote.
But now the Trump administration is putting the plan on the backburner, according to the Treasury department..."
What Happened to the Plan to Put Harriet Tubman on the $20 Bill?
Uh yyyyyyeah. I'd say facilitating avenues for slaves to escape and find security and employment, never losing a passenger in the process, working as a scout, spy and combatant for the Union (and being the first American female to lead troops into battle in the Civil War), getting 700+ slaves freed from South Carolina in a single raid, energizing the women's suffrage movement and doing all that in spite of brutal whippings and traumatic head injury, trumps growing up with an alcoholic father and going on to just enough success as a B-movie actor to avoid war and then riding that image to the White House to accomplish the goal of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park (U.S. National Park Service)
Harriet Tubman was a deeply spiritual woman who lived her ideals and dedicated her life to freedom. She is the Underground Railroad’s best known conductor and before the Civil War repeatedly risked her life to guide nearly 70 enslaved people north to new lives of freedom. This new national historical park preserves the same landscapes that Tubman used to carry herself and others away from slavery.
Not even 70, but nearly 70.
Harriet Tubman and the ‘Underground Railroad’
After her daring escape from slavery in 1849, Harriet Tubman risked her own safety to help guide around 70 friends and family to freedom using a secret network of slaves and abolitionist sympathisers
And then she had the help of white abolitionists.
So spare us the manufactured myth of this fraud.
I don't NEED to "check my history, Dumbass. I do that BEFORE I post.

>> Colonel Montgomery and his gallant bank of 300 black soldiers under the guidance of a black woman, dashed into the enemy's country, struck a bold and effective blow, destroying millions of dollars worth of commissary stores, cotton and lordly dwellings, and striking terror into the heart of rebeldom, brought off nearly 800 slaves and thousands of dollars worth of property, without losing a man or receiving a scratch.

Destroying millions of dollars worth of stores and dwellings, and striking terror into the heart of some people?
Sounds like the Ferguson riots. Nothing's changed, has it?
