By honoring Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, the left might be forced to deal with some uncomfortable facts about the famous abolitionist.

On Wednesday, the Treasury Department announced they were replacing President Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman. The first black woman to appear on U.S. currency, it was hailed by the left as a victory for civil rights and diversity. But don’t let the left whitewash the real Harriet Tubman.

Tubman – born a slave who escaped to the north – dedicated her life to freeing as many slaves as possible. She was considered a “fugitive” by Democrats in the South and she always carried a firearm with her – a Navy Colt. Here are her two weapons of choice under glass:

She was an avowed Republican, who despised Democrats’ support for slavery.

Her efforts to free as many slaves as possible are legendary, returning time and time again to bring slaves to the north. She once famously said: “I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.”

There are many paintings and murals of Tubman with a gun. Some portraits show her with a rifle.

Tubman was also a Union Army scout and a nurse who led an expedition during the Civil War that freed more than 700 slaves. Here’s a short bio of Tubman:

In addition to Tubman, the Treasury Department announced there would be more women and African Americans on U.S. currency by 2020. The reverse side of the $5 bill (with Lincoln on the front) will have a montage featuring Martin Luther King, Jr., also a gun-right supporter, by the way.

We support this design for the new $20 bill. We found it on Charles W. Cooke’s Twitter feed. Below it should be the phrase “Come with me if you want to live.“
