If I could go back in time and be someone in history I would have to choose to be Harriet Tubman. I think what she did was amazing and a lot of people thanked her for it. She endangered herself along the way of helping others but she knew it had to be done because they needed to escape, the system of slavery was just unfair and cruel. She was a very strong women and knew what she was doing, along the way she would never let the slaves with her escape or back out because she wanted them to succeed and if they Did leave that could just ruin things for everyone else. She was one of the few women that actually acted because many women did have the same opinions as her but they never did anything to change because of fear of getting caught or punished even worse than they were already getting. She didn't let the white owners intimidate her and she took charge of what needed to be done. I think that's amazing especially in times back then when women basically had no rights to do anything, and when their opinion was not valued.
