I saw a program on one of the History type channels, I think yesterday.
I can’t believe they were allowed to say it but there is almost no evidence that the Underground Railroad existed. Everything comes from a book and it was not very accurate.
They said she did probably help 19 slaves escape, all of them kin to her.
Don’t be silly.
Everyone knows that every single house, everywhere, with a lawn jockey in the yard was part of the underground railroad.

It's "common knowledge" locally that a "free black man" once owned a famous Revolutionary War/French & Indian war/Civil war very important fort nearby.
However, the only existing photo of him and his whole black family, are disturbingly pale for "black people".
Yet the legend lives on.
Most historical “facts” in U.S. history are utter B.S. and are only meant to revise/distort/fake a true event and make people feel good. The liberals are constantly doing this whitewash and if they can’t change history,they eliminate it.
The Harriet Tubman story says she made 19 trips and rescued approximately 300 slaves. At the Tubman Museum in downtown Cambridge, MD they say around 90. I guess the true number is somewhere between. There is also a large new Tubman Center out in the country on land where it is believed she was a slave.
