Harriet Tubman displayed the traits of being a hero. She was brave, courage’s, and made a big change in the black and slave community.
Born with an awful disease, Harriet Tubman could not read or write. She was born a slave with not much. Yet it was hard to see her heroic characteristics shined right through her. In her early years Harriet served as a spy for the union army during the civil war and was the first women to lead an expedition army. Harriet joined the union army because she craved freedom for the people that were forced into slavery.
The biggest role model for women was certainly Harriet. Tubman was not a traditional women and most definitely slave. She would not cook, clean and nurse children instead she was an in depended and bright women who wanted justice.
Tubman convinced many black people to help her serve as a spy and free slaves. The many Africans depended on her intelligence and bravery that she displayed. Harriet also had to overcome many obstacles that only a true risk taker would take. Tubman accepted the fact that she was a women, and for her not to stay at home and be a traditional women was before her time.
On one of Harriet’s missions, three gunboats that were carrying several hundred male soldiers along with Harriet were ready for their attack. Harriet used her intelligence to figure out the key information from her scouts about the confederate positions. She had figured out that they were hiding alongside the shore. Harriet also found out were they stored barrels that contained gun powder in the water. When morning set the raiders got to work. They destroyed bridges, set fire to buildings so the confederate army couldn’t use them. They freed 750 slaves, and did not lose one single solider in the attack.
Brave, courageous, and intelligent are all words to describe a hero. Not wonder women but Harriet Tubman, she showed us that you don’t need to have much to attempt and fulfill
