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.
When Harriet Tubman died in 1913, she was honored with a military funeral in recognition of her work during the war.pic.twitter.com/XklNnSfJG6
