Where is the Plot?[edit]

This Wiki essay-in-formation still needs a "Plot" section describing the story overall.

Useful background history[edit]

As the film's finale accurately points out:

"Harriet Tubman was the most famous conductor on the Underground Railroad, leading [from 1850 to 1860] over 70 slaves to freedom.

"During the Civil War, Harriet became a spy for the Union Army.

"She led 150 black soldiers in the Combahee River Raid, freeing over 750 slaves [ in early June 1863 in coastal, southeastern South Carolina. As a result, ] Harriet remains one of the few women in U.S. history to [have] lead an armed [U.S.] expedition.

"She later remarried and dedicated her life to helping freed slaves, the elderly, and Women’s Suffrage.

"She died surrounded by loved ones on March 10, 1913, at approximately 91 years of age. Her last words were, 'I go to prepare a place for you.' "

- Within the above, I (of course) inserted further historical info and grammatical improvements within some parenthetical brackets.

Hollyweird[edit]

Julia Roberts was proposed for the role of Harriet Tubman at one point.[1] Don't know if that deserves mentioning. 173.228.123.207 (talk) 05:39, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
