A little history lesson for homeschoolers.
Yes. A gun-toting, God-fearing, freedom-loving escaped slave bent on throwing off the yoke of the tyranny that was slavery, and helping others along the way... What's not to like? I love these things when liberals bring up Harriet Tubman as an icon against slavery. I add those things in, just to let them stew in it. Some actually do get it. I've made a convert or two away from liberalism to conservatism in my adult life.
I need to really bone up on the Socratic method, though. Get them to show themselves they've been lied to, and been lying to themselves for years, and you'll turn 'em.
