    You can think of it that way. I think it adds to her aura as a total badass. Underground railroad, spy for the Union army, abolition, women's suffrage, and did it all despite serious affliction.

    Tubman was a human trafficker with a complete disregard for borders and authority. Ironic how thats big in this election, so no I don't think we should put a criminal on our money. Deportation is the course of action that should have been taken.

    Funny as hell thinking of all the closet racists' reactions.

    I have no clue what your first sentence is trying to say.

    Strong command of the English language.

    on a slightly unrelated note, did anybody else catch the irony of putting an ardent anti-capitalist on the $5 bill?

    It does rather remind me of the way coyotes in Mexico and the smugglers of Syrian refugees in Europe today are villainized here, but to the oppressed they can be heroes. It helps Tubman's case that she didn't have a couple dozen slaves suffocate in a semi or drown when the boat sank.

    basically it's pretty easy to tell who the racists are on this thread

    It was so bad, she had brain surgery at a time when people chose death over surgery because anesthesia was not discovered yet.
