The Baddest Warrior in North American History was a Woman - Harriet Tubman






"Throughout North American history, we've always heard of men as the best warriors. In fact, it was a woman who was the real "baddest" warrior in North American history. Her name was Harriet Tubman."





Dear friends,

Throughout North American history, we've always heard of men as the best warriors. In fact, it was a woman who was the real "baddest" warrior in North American history. Her name was Harriet Tubman.

For years, with a death warrant and reward on her head, she traveled back and forth, hundreds of times, into the antebellum South, and brought her/our brothers and sisters out from there to freedom. Then she served as both guide and nurse with the Union Army, during the North American Civil War, before finally dying as an old woman.

Liberation!
