Gen. David Hunter requested Harriet personally guide a raiding party up the Combahee River. She was well prepared for the raid because she had key information about Confederate positions along the shore & had discovered where they placed torpedoes in the water.

On the morning of June 1, 1863, Harriet led Col. James Montgomery & his men in the attack. The expedition hit hard. They set fires & destroyed buildings so they couldn’t be used by the Confederate forces. The raiders freed 750 slaves.

Harriet was the subject of my first “research paper” when I was about 9 years old. That was almost 50 years ago and when I think of the word hero, she still comes to mind first. Thank you for remembering her.

Is this the new CIA? Is this what Obama did to you? The CIA should not even know about the latest Social justice month. Focus on stopping those who wish to kill AMERICANS.
