Better late than never, Tubman was recognized for her military achievements this past Veterans Day. Governor Wes Moore of Maryland made Harriet Tubman a one-star brigadier general in the state’s National Guard.
Tubman is widely recognized for her efforts in the 1863 Raid on Combahee Ferry. In this military mission, she guided steamboats with 150 Black Union soldiers toward several plantations that they were able to raid. The 750 slaves at the plantations, forewarned by Tubman’s network of what was happening, boarded the steamboats and sailed toward freedom.
At the time, Tubman was hailed for this achievement, which added around 100 men to the Union Army. However, it would take more than a century for her to work to be consolidated into a military ranking.
