Why Harriet Tubman?

[Raven Ranks]

You could have used a black leader though. Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Elizabeth Coleman, Maya Angelou, Rosa Parks, Charles Richard Drew, etc. Why choose slavery? Why make THAT what we represent? America has done a lot for both the black community and the world. Our history is defined by more than the ugly. It's almost like it's intentional.

I'll take Tubman over Angelou or Parks. At least Tubman saw and participated in actual war. But I wish leaders would have stayed as actual leaders. I'm not even a fan of Franklin being a leader. Should have been an actual President for release. Any of the non-leaders should have been the DLC packs instead of selling us actual leaders later on.

Why not have her? Unless you take your video games too literal and need them to be absolutely accurate to history, I am not sure I see the problem.

Today i learned that america still uses slaves because they have to keep reminding us of slavery in every way possible.

The entire world participated in slavery and the majority of the world still does. Africa, the Middle East, Asia. All still engage in slavery. I am not a fan of constantly rehashing something Europeans abolished 200 years ago. All it does is divide us.

Right, you just want to forget about it.

No thanks. Your people enslaved an entire race for 400 years. Don't get over it.

I’d never forget about it. I’d just rather not hear about it in every form of media for the rest of my life when America ended slavery before I was even born.

isn't it obvious? tubman was the plan B. she exists here only so that when the game inevitably fails, as we are witnessing, to be sacrificed. because otherwise how could this magnificently constructed and otherwise flawless game fail. must be racism.

[AdahnGorion]

Because she is one of the most iconic leaders that ever existed in the US.
They start teaching about her in school in the lower grades, because she is such an important figure for the country. Basically she is a founding mother of America.

The real question is, why not? Ill wait for your answer.

Lincoln was a leader once who is known for what? Was he also a civ leader at one time?

Think long and hard.

[Qoojo]

Why are you ok with Rosa Parks but not Harriet Tubman?

[Mike]

the in-game descriptions of 'well er ... her ancestors are from the same continent as famous historical figures so that counts right??' are top tier hilarious

Lincoln is also one of the most recognized US Presidents in American history. He was a US President. Leader. He was also highly controversial, often viewed as a madman after losing his son. The man also famously stated that he did not wish to be painted as an abolitionist. He then proceeded to torch his own villages/towns and blockade his own ports.

Would you like more information or did you actually think your trap was going to spring?
