Tubman saved her own relatives. Just them.

Right. There is no evidence the underground railroad even existed. Despite that the media academia etc. have built it into this huge network with all kinds of statios just about everywhere.

She couldn’t save her daughter, who had slave children on an adjacent plantation, and wouldn’t leave because she’d never see those children again. And it’s untrue that Tubman only saved her relatives. Visit the museum in Cambridge, MD and the Visitor Center outside Cambridge on land where Harriet was once a slave. Her birth name was Araminta Ross. She was married to a Tubman before he left her. I never learned why she changed her first name.

She was one woman - so even that is a notable feat.

Do you think she should've gone all "Rambo" and swept through the country?
