Harriet Tubman Day

History 5 Minutes

Harriet Tubman was an escaped enslaved woman who became a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad, leading enslaved people to freedom before the Civil War, all while carrying a bounty on her head. But she was also a nurse, a Union spy and a women’s suffrage supporter. Tubman is one of the most recognized icons in American history and her legacy has inspired countless people from every race and background. NOTE: Harriet Tubman Day is celebrated on the day that she died, because her exact birthday is unknown.

When Was Harriet Tubman Born?

Harriet Tubman was born around 1820 on a plantation in Dorchester County, Maryland. Her parents, Harriet (“Rit”) Green and Benjamin Ross, named her Araminta Ross and called her “Minty.”

Rit worked as a cook in the plantation’s “big house,” and Benjamin was a timber worker. Araminta later changed her first name to Harriet in honor of her mother.

Harriet had eight brothers and sisters, but the realities of slavery eventually forced many of them apart, despite Rit’s attempts to keep the family together. When Harriet was five years old, she was rented out as a nursemaid where she was whipped when the baby cried, leaving her with permanent emotional and physical scars.

Around age seven Harriet was rented out to a planter to set muskrat traps and was later rented out as a field hand. She later said she preferred physical plantation work to indoor domestic chores.

A Good Deed Gone Bad

Harriet’s desire for justice became apparent at age 12 when she spotted an overseer about to throw a heavy weight at a fugitive. Harriet stepped between the enslaved person and the overseer—the weight struck her head.

She later said about the incident, “The weight broke my skull … They carried me to the house all bleeding and fainting. I had no bed, no place to lie down on at all, and they laid me on the seat of the loom, and I stayed there all day and the next.”

Harriet’s good deed left her with headaches and narcolepsy the rest of her life, causing her to fall into a deep sleep at random. She also started having vivid dreams and hallucinations which she often claimed were religious visions (she was a staunch Christian). Her infirmity made her unattractive to potential slave buyers and renters.

Escape from Slavery

In 1840, Harriet’s father was set free and Harriet learned that Rit’s owner’s last will had set Rit and her children, including Harriet, free. But Rit’s new owner refused to recognize the will and kept Rit, Harriet and the rest of her children in bondage.

Around 1844, Harriet married John Tubman, a free Black man, and changed her last name from Ross to Tubman. The marriage was not good, and the knowledge that two of her brothers—Ben and Henry—were about to be sold provoked Harriet to plan an escape.

Harriet Tubman: Underground Railroad

On September 17, 1849, Harriet, Ben and Henry escaped their Maryland plantation. The brothers, however, changed their minds and went back. With the help of the Underground Railroad, Harriet persevered and traveled 90 miles north to Pennsylvania and freedom.

Tubman found work as a housekeeper in Philadelphia, but she wasn’t satisfied living free on her own—she wanted freedom for her loved ones and friends, too.

She soon returned to the south to lead her niece and her niece’s children to Philadelphia via the Underground Railroad. At one point, she tried to bring her husband John north, but he’d remarried and chose to stay in Maryland with his new wife.

Fugitive Slave Act

The 1850 Fugitive Slave Act allowed fugitive and freed workers in the north to be captured and enslaved. This made Harriet’s role as an Underground Railroad conductor much harder and forced her to lead enslaved people further north to Canada, traveling at night, usually in the spring or fall when the days were shorter.

She carried a gun for both her own protection and to “encourage” her charges who might be having second thoughts. She often drugged babies and young children to prevent slave catchers from hearing their cries.

Over the next 10 years, Harriet befriended other abolitionists such as Frederick Douglass, Thomas Garrett and Martha Coffin Wright, and established her own Underground Railroad network. It’s widely reported she emancipated 300 enslaved people; however, those numbers may have been estimated and exaggerated by her biographer Sarah Bradford, since Harriet herself claimed the numbers were much lower.

Nevertheless, it’s believed Harriet personally led at least 70 enslaved people to freedom, including her elderly parents, and instructed dozens of others on how to escape on their own. She claimed, “I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.”

Harriet Tubman’s Civil War Service

When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Harriet found new ways to fight slavery. She was recruited to assist fugitive enslaved people at Fort Monroe and worked as a nurse, cook and laundress. Harriet used her knowledge of herbal medicines to help treat sick soldiers and fugitive enslaved people.

In 1863, Harriet became head of an espionage and scout network for the Union Army. She provided crucial intelligence to Union commanders about Confederate Army supply routes and troops and helped liberate enslaved people to form Black Union regiments.

Though just over five feet tall, she was a force to be reckoned with, although it took over three decades for the government to recognize her military contributions and award her financially.

Harriet Tubman’s Later Years

After the Civil War, Harriet settled with family and friends on land she owned in Auburn, New York. She married former enslaved man and Civil War veteran Nelson Davis in 1869 (her husband John had died 1867) and they adopted a little girl named Gertie a few years later.

Harriet had an open-door policy for anyone in need. She supported her philanthropy efforts by selling her home-grown produce, raising pigs and accepting donations and loans from friends. She remained illiterate yet toured parts of the northeast speaking on behalf of the women’s suffrage movement and worked with noted suffrage leader Susan B. Anthony.

In 1896, Harriet purchased land adjacent to her home and opened the Harriet Tubman Home for Aged and Indigent Colored People. The head injury she suffered in her youth continued to plague her and she endured brain surgery to help relieve her symptoms. But her health continued to deteriorate and eventually forced her to move into her namesake rest home in 1911.

Pneumonia took Harriet Tubman’s life on March 10, 1913, but her legacy lives on. Schools and museums bear her name and her story has been revisited in books, movies and documentaries.

Harriet Tubman: $20 Bill

In 2016, the United States Treasury announced that Harriet’s image will replace that of former President and slaveowner Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin (who served under President Trump) later announced the new bill would be delayed until at least 2026. In January 2021, President Biden’s administration announced it would speed up the design process to mint the bills honoring Tubman’s legacy.

Tubman even had a World War II Liberty ship named after her, the SS Harriet Tubman.

When I wanted to disable TIKTOK 3 years ago, I was met with opposition from RINOS to Democrats to everyone else. They actually went to court in an effort to stop me. Now they realize I was right, and have changed their tune. Sadly, I’ve been right about everything!

    Kentucky GOP Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Accountability Committee, sponsored the Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act, which sets a standard that “employees acting in their official capacity should neither take action within their authority or influence to promote the censorship of any lawful speech, nor advocate that a third party, including a private entity, censor such speech.”

    The vote on the legislation comes after the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government held a hearing on “the politicization of the FBI and DOJ and attacks on American civil liberties.”

    But the US is, despite what the Democrats are trying to do, a Democracy where the citizen is supreme.

    Citizens who think they have ideas to make America great again must run.

    Let there be a fierce contest, let them debate, let them fling mud at each other and let them be uncivil.

    The failure to have a proper primary could create resentment in the mind of some voters who may think their candidate didn’t get a fair chance to contest. These disgruntled supporters of the failed candidate may choose to not vote for the GOP in 2024. That w be a huge loss. It is absolutely essential that the party unites after a fair primary contest.

    The citizens will ultimately decide whose turn it is and who will represent the GOP in the 2024 Presidential elections.

  31. speedy trial?
    entire article
    How long have Jan. 6 detainees been held in jail without trial? They are slated to be visited by the indefatigable Marjorie Tylor-Greene and other members of the House (including, it must be demanded, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan).

    Here is the text of the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution:

    Amendment VI

    In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. [Emphasis certainly added.]

    A Business Insider article warned that long detentions without trial for Jan. 6 defendants will only encourage “extremism”:

    “Free the Patriots” is already “terrifying” in its power to radicalize, according to extremism expert Alex Friedfeld, a researcher with the Anti-Defamation League.

    But year-long jail stays and slow-moving prosecutions — a consequence of the Department of Justice’s ongoing and massive 775-defendant investigation of the Capitol breach — are fanning the flames of hate, Friedfeld and other extremism watchdogs say.

    “It’s a very powerful thing they’re doing,” Friedfeld told Insider of the far right’s outrage campaign on behalf of just under 70 “patriots” now held without bail while awaiting trial on the attempted coup’s most serious charges.

    This article appeared in March 2022! Note the reference to “year-long jail stays and slow-moving prosecutions.” Will the congressional delegation led by Rep. Taylor-Greene find that some Jan. 6 detainees — political prisoners, actually, in view of the clear trashing by this administration of the Sixth Amendment’s mandate for a “speedy” trial — have been held as long as two years? And what if, when they are finally put on trial, convicted, and sentenced to less than two years in prison — do they get damages for false confinement? Where, indeed, is the outrage at the administration’s blatant denial of due process for the Jan. 6 detainees? Where are the demands from the media that administration officials be held accountable for transgressing the Constitution and the Founders by their “slow-moving prosecution?” Jim Jordan, the Sixth Amendment doesn’t call for “slow-moving prosecutions.”

    Matt Vespa at Townhall, March 9, has disclosed that Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the Jan. 6 Pelosi partisan panel now admits that members of his congressional kangaroo committee did not view the surveillance videos, effectively making accusations without evidence.

    Vespa included this Thompson comment in his article:

    “I’m actually not aware of any member of the committee who had access [to the footage]. We had a team of employees who kind of went through the video,” he said.

    But as Tucker Carlson has reported with his Jan. 6 video revelations, Thompson’s “team of employees” doctored the tapes to put Republicans like Sen. John Hawley in the most unfavorable, indeed embarrassing, light.

    The Democrat lies about Jan. 6 are beginning to emerge as, previously, did their lies about Trump’s ties to Putin, and the gamut of their calumnies concerning the N.Y. Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden, the Covid-19 machinations of Dr. Fauci and so forth. Behold the Democrat Party, the party of political liars, served by a fake news media.

    The responsibilities of the House of Representatives are clear enough: following the meeting of Republicans and Jan. 6 detainees, held in confinement that is abhorrent to the Constitution, the House must adopt a resolution that rescinds the work of Pelosi’s foul Jan. 6 Select Committee, nullifies the subpoenas that issued from the Pelosi panel, and draw up articles of impeachment against Mr. Biden and his Constitution-trashing attorney general.

    Failing such a course, the GOP will become the owners of the anti-liberty mindset that currently has a stranglehold on the country.

  32. “Three Dots: Well, that was weird…The Weaponization of Government, World War III, and other news of the week.”

    Michael Shellenberger and Leighton Woodhouse
    35 min ago
    ENTIRE ARTICLE: ““So-Called Journalists”

    “Well, that was weird. Yesterday we helped break what could be the most important story of the year, if not the decade: U.S. government agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the National Science Foundation, have been financing and working private sector entities to secretly censor ordinary Americans.

    Michael and Friend of Public Matt Taibbi testified before the House Committee on the Weaponization of Government about our findings. Did the Democrats respond by thanking us for exposing this imminent threat to the First Amendment? They did not. Rather, Democrats spent the hearing impugning our motives and calling us “so-called journalists.”

    Happily, the Republicans on the committee showed appropriate levels of alarm and promised to investigate our charges. The highlight of the hearing came when Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) asked Michael about how he got involved in the Twitter Files. After Michael explained that our friend, Bari Weiss, invited us in, Rep. Garcia said, “So you’re in this as a threesome?”

    Peels of laughter rippled through the hearing room at the unintended innuendo. “There were many more people involved than that,” deadpanned Michael.

    After a video of the clip went viral on Twitter, many piled on to crack wise. The best response came from Bari’s wife, Nellie Bowles: “HOW MANY MORE MICHAEL,” she demanded to know

    Biden Administration Goes Full-Stasi — Two days before the hearing, Republicans released letters sent from the Federal Trade Commission to Elon Musk, demanding that Twitter “identify all journalists” who Musk allowed access to the company’s past emails and Slack messages. Neither of us has been shy about our involvement with the Twitter Files, so the FTC’s interest doesn’t change the status quo for us personally. But the demand is, on its face, quite alarming.

    And it’s even more so when you consider it within the context of the sprawling Censorship Industrial Complex, which Michael testified about to Congress this week. As Jennifer Sey put it:

    When it comes to social media, the US government has already created a corporate drone version of Big Brother. That’s not in some dystopian future — it’s already here.

    Maybe They Learned the Stasi Stuff From Local Public Health Officials?

    Speaking of the Twitter Files, one of our TF colleagues, David Zweig, has a crazy story about how, during the Covid lockdown, a church in Santa Clara County, California, defied public health orders and held masking- and distancing–free services.

    The response from the public health department was straight-up unhinged. They sent officers from their “Business Compliance Unit” to the church to surveil its congregants. The officers ran stakeouts, counted the cars in the parking lot, spied on baptisms, daycare services, youth gatherings, and on people drinking coffee in the hallways, documenting every detail meticulously. Health officials even tracked congregants’ cell phone metadata and cross-referenced it against GPS data.

    Someday we’ll look back on 2020 and tremble at what we allowed ourselves to briefly become. That, or 2020 will prove a mere prelude to a terrifying New Normal.

  33. “Aspen Institute’s Censorship Commission — Katie Couric, Prince Harry, et al. recommended restrictions on free speech”

    Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH™
    10 min ago

    By JOHN LEAKE

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Matt Taibbi continues his Twitter reporting what he calls the CENSORSHIP-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. His report yesterday on the Aspen Institute’s activities caught my eye. As he put it:

    14. The Woodstock of the Censorship-Industrial Complex came when the Aspen Institute – which receives millions a year from both the State Department and USAID – held a star-studded confab in Aspen in August 2021 to release its final report on “Information Disorder.”

    15. The report was co-authored by Katie Couric and Chris Krebs, the founder of the DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Yoel Roth of Twitter and Nathaniel Gleicher of Facebook were technical advisors. Prince Harry joined Couric as a Commissioner.

    16. Their taxpayer-backed conclusions: the state should have total access to data to make searching speech easier, speech offenders should be put in a “holding area,” and government should probably restrict disinformation, “even if it means losing some freedom.”

    In other words, a group of extremely wealthy, privileged, half-educated, self-important people assemble in North America’s swankiest mountain retreat, at an institution heavily financed by taxpayer money, to discuss censoring the plebs. A naive outsider might wonder if this sort of activity was conceived as an intentional insult of the middle class, taxpaying citizenry.

    The mental habits of the participants are perhaps best expressed by their choice of Prince Harry—a direct descendent of King George III, who once publicly characterized the U.S. First Amendment protection of free speech as “bonkers”—as a Commissioner. How strange that a young man who seems unable to manage his personal and family affairs was commissioned with making recommendations to U.S. policymakers about governing the American people. Matt Taibbi’s Twitter reporting on censorship is very interesting and illuminating.”

  35. EXCERPT: “The last time your phone asked you to allow this or that app access to your location data, you may have had some trepidation about how much Apple or Google know about you. You may have worried about what might come of that, or read about China’s use of the data to track anti-lockdown protesters. What you probably didn’t realize is Google has already searched your data on behalf of the federal government to see if you were involved with January 6th.

    But last month, the federal district court in DC issued an opinion in the case of one of the many defendants who stands accused of sacking the Capitol in the wake of the 2020 election.

    And with it, Judge Rudolph Contreras became the first federal district judge to approve a “Geofence” warrant, endorsing a recent police innovation: searching the cell phone history of every American to check who happened to be in the area of some potential crime.

    The “Geofence” in this context refers to cell phone location data collected by Google from users of its Android operating system, as well as iPhone users who use apps such as Google Maps. Location tracking can be turned off, but most users allow it for the convenience of getting directions, tracking their daily jog, or finding the nearest Chipotle. The Government’s warrant demanded location history for every Google account holder within a range of longitude and latitude roughly corresponding to the Capitol building on the afternoon of January 6, 2021, along with similar data from that morning and evening (to filter out Hill staff and security guards).
    ————–
    It’s difficult to imagine how a Geofence warrant could ever be particularized in the sense the Fourth Amendment is supposed to require. Traditionally, the government would identify a list of suspects, and then ask the phone company for records specific to them. Geofencing reverses the order of operations: Now the government demands the data of everyone, and only decides which of us is guilty or innocent after invading the privacy of both. In order to find the phones within the Geofence, Google must search their entire repository — if you have a google account, you were searched alongside the perpetrators. It’s difficult to distinguish this approach from the practice that inspired the Fourth Amendment in the first place: the English “general warrants,” which allowed customs officers broad latitude to search any home they liked for smuggled goods.”

However, that video has been leaked and Brian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show, was the FIRST in the media to reveal it. This video is quite shocking not only because it is further exculpatory of the Shaman, Jacob Chansley, but also because it REVEALS that the person who was identified by the media as the face of the “insurrection” clearly understood that President Donald Trump wanted protestors at the Capitol to go home in peace. This completely upends the media and Democrat narrative the President Trump was inspiring violence on January 6.“
