Importance

Harriet Tubman was of major importance in history and the Abolitionist movement. Tubman was able to coordinate important meetings of large groups of people and large escapes as a conductor of the Underground Railroad. As well as being able to coordinate escapes, Tubman was able to fight in the Civil War as a nurse and for the rights that all people deserve. In the Civil War alone, Tubman was able to aid over seven-hundred enslaved people to freedom (Dawson). In fact, some people think that Tubman made such a significant influence on the United States of America that she should be on the front of the twenty dollar bill (A Bill To Require $20 Notes...).Whether Tubman was working on the anti-slavery movement or another movement for the freedom of the United States citizens, she was always working for human rights.
