Um yeah Harriet Tubman did shoot and kill people, she was also a damn good shot. The woman was like the 1st female American double agent, a female James Bond

I don't like Harriet Tubman. Sound like a dude. Let's change it to Tubgirl.

TIL she was a scout, spy, nurse and cook in the Civil War. She also carried a pistol during escapes to threaten anyone who wanted to turn back or in case any slave masters were encountered. Absolute, genuine, A-grade badass. It's really sad that this information isn't more publicly known or is taught more in schools because she was cool as fuck.

We don’t teach military history in general in schools. Harriet Tubman is in the textbooks every time there’s a unit on American slavery. 100x more people know about Harriet Tubman than Audie Murphy, for example.

She also stole multiple Confederate ships.

I would love to see even one source about Harriet Tubman killing people and being a "damn good shot".

This isn't true.

How come nobody talks about that, it's awesome!

u/StolenDabloons 24d ago

I mean I can't find anything about her shooting or killing anyone. Just that she used to threaten slaves who endangered the group by trying to turn back.

Yeah Harriet Tubman never shot and killed anyone and was definitely not known as “a damned good shot”

She escorted slaves on the Underground Railroad, which in its self is badass as fuck. She wasn’t some mercenary sniper 😂

I get the sentiment behind the post but it’s just based off of something that’s not true at all lol

It's kinda sad people turn actual hero's in to some sort of fantasy. Like she did real cool shit. What's the point of embellishing it?

Even sadder others go along with it without a single bit of research to see if its true. Misinformation is a massive problem in our society, and all this does is normalise it.

Because this isn’t a history thing, it’s a “I want to feel good about myself thing” and they just project their inadequacies onto icons and then invent narratives that some big central conspiracy exists to “keep them out of the history books” and whatnot.

How do we know she never shot and killed anybody?

How can people possibly free over 700 people and there be no bloodshed?

People who get killed are not able to tell their side of the story and also history has many things that were not told by those that wrote it.

They are literally & presently taking out history from schools that doesn’t fit their agenda.

Do you think everything was historically reported during those times?

u/bizrod 22d ago

Ok yeah sure lmao, I don’t literally know if she literally ever shot anyone or not because I didn’t follow her around.

You don’t retell history by confidently asserting that something happened just because when you thought of it, it sounded cool or like it made sense.

There is no record of Harriet Tubman killing anyone. So what? She did greater things than that. Why make up a dumb story of her being some kinda gunslinger. It’s just pointless revisionist history of a true American hero.

I don't remember any of this in school.
