Harriet Tubman

 Harriet Tubman


Harriet Tubman was an African American woman during the time prior to the Civil War who helped Africans Americans from the South escape to the North. Tubman did not care that there were risks in helping African Americans escape slavery in the South. Tubman helped with the Underground Railroad that helped transport individuals to freedom in the North.

There were individuals that helped others improve their lives despite envy and hate from racist socialists. Tubman did not care about the risks and cared more about her bretheren helping them escape and obtain freedom. Tubman was unique and distinct because she described the importance of genuine empathy instead of selfishness and egoism. 

Tubman had valor and courage to oppose slavery and racism prior to the times of the Civil War. There were advocates of abolitionism and equality including Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln who opposed slavery and called it immoral. Tubman decided to hide individuals from slave owners in the South and transport them on railroads that went to the North. 

Tubman helped free close to more than 30 individuals in the South. Civil War became inevitable when Christian President Abraham Lincoln described that slavery could not persist in 1865. Racism was condemned by Lincoln and denounced. Confederate president Davis led the Confederate states of the South to fight against Lincoln and the Union. Davis along with advocates of slavery were blinded by envy and racism, and the Confederacy declined. There were obvious incongruencies by the Confederates who stated that young men and individuals of modest means needed to fight in the war while owners of more than 15 slaves were exempt from joining the ranks of soldiers in the Confederacy (This described how racism is unequal in multiple forms). Southerners began to see and call the Confederate struggle unequal seeing that rich Southerners decided to not fight in the battlefield (The same Southerners who did not fight in the war may have been the advocates of Jim Crowe laws after Lincoln's assassination and Johnson's presidency). The Union would defeat the Confederacy based on fighting for equality and morality while the Confederacy crumbled under the weight of its own racism and hate. (The pro-slavery Democrat party would disintegrate and be relegated to non-existence. While there was still racism, the United States was improving shedding the incongruent vestiges of inequality and inegalitarianism. It would take multiple decades for Catholic President JFK and Christian Preacher MLK to eradicate Jim Crowe laws and segregation based on racism and improve the U.S. in the 1960s).
