  1. Only person to lead a successful slave revolt in America. Everyone else was betrayed by another slave.

  2. A great revolutionary and heroine. Led the only truly successful slave revolt in America. Everyone else was betrayed by another slave. Harriet made it clear - "you will be free or I will shoot you right here, but you will NOT turn back." Never lost a passenger and always arrived on time. My favorite.
