Harriet Tubman put her life on the line to save hundreds of slaves during the dark period of American slavery. Besides her bravery as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, she was the first woman to lead an expedition in the Civil War, leading a raid which liberated over 700 slaves. Her legacy stands in contrast to that of Andrew Jackson who not only owned slaves but also ushered in one of the darkest eras for America's first nations. As part of Jackson's devastating 'Indian removal policy,' tens of thousands of Cherokee, Choctaw, Muscogee-Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminole people were forced from their ancestral lands. The Cherokee Nation decreed it "The Trail of Tears." Tens of thousands died and suffered. Honor Tubman’s legacy, valor, and civil service by removing Jackson from the 20.
