They won’t be happy until every white person is dead. And then they will turn on each other.

Ah, yes, Tubman, who helped the extremist John Brown plan the violent raid at Harpers Ferry.

I have a much better idea. We should definitely get rid of Andrew Jackson because he was America's first democrat but he should be replaced with chief Geronimo, not Tubman. That should be our counter proposal. their heads would explode. This is the face that should replace Andrew Jackson. I would 100% support that.

Turns out that, for all her heroism on the Underground Railroad, Tubman was an associate of John Brown and a wannabe terrorist. She missed being killed or hanged for the attack on Harper’s Ferry because she was sick...

In the post-cash future, people who use cash will be enemies of the state, just like Harriet was...

Did American slaves have the right to rise up and rebel against their masters?
