    Explanation: Harriett Tubman was an anti-slavery partisan who led dozens of people out of slavery in the pre-war American South. During the American Civil War, she assisted the (eventually) antislavery Union as a scout and spy, and, posthumously, was granted the rank of Brigadier General by the Maryland National Guard.
