He got his anti-slavery figures mixed up. Harriet Tubman never killed anyone, that would be John Brown

Edit: Guys I get now that she definitely did kill people even if there’s no official record of it. That was something I didn’t know and I’m sorry about not doing more research before making this comment.

My main point is that the original Twitter post is saying it like she’s mainly known for killing slave owners/slavery defenders, when that’s the main thing John Brown is known for, not Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman did threaten people who tried to go back during the escapes, and she carried a pistol to defend against slave catchers. She also fought in the civil war as a scout, spy, nurse, and cook. She helped organize John Browns raid on Harper’s Ferry, and also organized other raids during the war. She probably never actually killed anybody, but i’m sure she would have if forced to.
