Harriet Tubman was a beautiful women inside and out. She helped herself in many slaves. Susan b Anthony was a strong woman who helped rights go far. Both are very important female role models. They should always be remembered. Women’s life in the south was not easy. I hope us women are treated

Harriet Tubman has become the center of a lot of attention recently when it was announced she would be on the new 20 dollar bill. Being on a U.S. currency note is pretty important. One of the reasons she is on the countries most used currency is the fact she is probably “the most famous conductor of the underground railroad.” [Harriet Tubman biography, no author] she also devoted her life for women's rights. Harriet Tubman during the civil was a spy, a cook and a nurse for the union.

Because she was an abolitionist, had other jobs doing good things, and nothing stopping her from doing anything, Harriet Tubman sets a heroic example. Harriet wasn’t necessitated to free slaves or work for the Union Army, she decided to do that on her own. Harriet always had a job to do and every job she had basically helped someone else in some kind of way. In 2016, The U.S Treasury announced that Harriet Tubman will soon appear on the $20 bill replacing Andrew Jackson. Thanks to her, many people were able to live their lives free and well.

Maya Angelou is not just an amazing poet, but she is a social activist and has worked to try to create a more equal society. I think that everyone needs to remember all the sacrifices that have occurred and are still occurring for us to be free, and that no matter what it is, it came at a cost. I think that the 20 dollar bill is a good bill for her to be on, because she is so relatable and versatile and she can inspire anyone so, the 20 dollar bill is common, but then also worth a lot to most

Harriet Tubman was a great person who leads slaves to freedom! She was a conductor. For example, she saved people that were slaves (over 200 people).

I appreciated the idea that both Andrew Jackson and John Ross should share the twenty-dollar bill. There are two sides to this story in history and I believe both should be accurately represented. We should definitely start to make our currency more diverse by adding people of color and

Did you ever think about who was on the twenty dollar bill? Or if they deserve to be on the twenty dollar bill? Well, I’ll tell you that the 7th U.S. president, Andrew Jackson, was on the twenty dollar bill. Jackson was born poor, but worked his way up to become part of politician. He saved his wife from a bad relationship, went into wars for the country, propelled into presidency and payed off national debt. I think that Jackson deserves to be on that twenty dollar bill because he was a war hero, he saved the country from debt and kept the union together.

Throughout history Harriet Tubman has become to be known as the women on the front of the twenty dollar bill. She has been treated like she was a dog people were hitting her with a riding crop for not doing what they were supposed to do they were slaves for the people who brought them into the country. She is influential because she took care of people who were wounded and sick, she helped the slaves get to freedom and she also part of the underground railroad.

ow Harriett Became Who She Was Harriett Tubman was always there for people. She didn’t just stand up for herself she stood up for others too. Harriet once said “I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.” She wanted to make other people’s lives better. She was willing to risk her like just to make others better. This is what made her such a great person in America’s history. Harriett Tubman was one of the most important people in history. She had saved many lives and made a huge impact on slavery. Harriett brought 1,000s of slaves out of slavery. She risked her life just to make others better. She only did that because she knew how miserable her life was when she was a slave and didn’t want other

Harriet Tubman was an important figure for both women and slaves alike. She represented strength and bravery in a time when the country had a deficit of both. A strong abolitionist and Union supporter, she helped not only in ending slavery, but supporting the North in times of need. Her African American heritage showed the country that slaves were not just property, they were living people who could accomplish incredible things, as Mrs. Tubman showed us. Constantly being in jeopardy of capture and death, she showed immense strength so that others could live free in the north. Harriet Tubman’s legacy still lives on today as we remember her courage and determination, as an example for other women.

Even though Caroline Chisholm was once on the five dollar note, I think she deserves to be on the new $200 bill. I believe she should because she devoted her whole life to help those who are less fortunate, and not many people are as brave and as giving as that. Plus it is not only me who thinks she deserves to be on the $200 bill it is a lot of people infact she is loved all over the world for her amazing works towards human rights.

To start off, Harriet Tubman was extremely selfless. She risked her life to save her family. She rescued her parents and brought them to the north where they would be safer. Not only did she save her parents from the harsh reality of slavery, but Tubman risked being placed back into slavery in order to free innocent strangers. She did this not only once, but nineteen times, each becoming more dangerous to do. Her last trip to free slaves being during a time where she was wanted. Yet, her selflessness doesn’t stop there. Not only did she save the lives of so many people, she also served as a nurse during the civil war. Tubman was able to help many of the injured Union soldiers. She did this not for herself, but for the cause of helping the Union win the Civil War.

Throughout the U.S history, women have fought a long journey in order to be treated fairly and equally. When women arrived to this country, they were seen as housewives who only served their families, nothing less and nothing more. As time progressed, many women started to disagree with the idea of being just housewives and believed they were capable of many great things such as having the right to vote, and being able to work outside of home. Eventually, it started to create inequalities of the legal statuses of men and women. Around the mid-nineteenth century, the women’s right movement started bringing controversial
