Harriet Tubman

Between roughly 1850 and 1860, personally returned to slave-holding territory about thirteen times, leading approximately seventy enslaved people to freedom along the Underground Railroad — every documented mission completed without a single person lost.

In June 1863, planned and led the Combahee Ferry Raid, which freed more than 700 enslaved people — documented as the first US military operation of the Civil War planned and led by a woman.

She carried a pistol on her rescue missions, and multiple independent accounts describe her as prepared to use its threat against escaping people who wanted to turn back partway — because one person turning back risked exposing the entire group to slave catchers.

This is consistent with the profile's conflict_tolerance score: a willingness to force a hard choice when the group's safety was at stake, not a general account of her temperament. Conflict Tolerance

She approached Union Army command directly to propose serving as an armed scout and spy — an unprecedented role for a woman, let alone a formerly enslaved woman — and the Army granted it, a position that led directly to her planning the Combahee raid.

This helps explain the profile's very high proactive_agency score: creating an institutional opportunity for herself rather than waiting for one to be offered. Proactive Agency

Her own escape from slavery in 1849 was solo, with no plan to return for anyone else. Within about a year she began going back into the same territory to lead others out, beginning a sustained pattern of missions that continued for the next decade.
