This Site Is To HONOR Of HARRIET TUBMAN & Hopefully Her $20 Bill Will Be Coming Soon. The Spiritual Tunes That She Used Were Instrumental In Conveying Routes, Times & Places For Enslaved People To Get Out Of The Hell Thanks To The Underground Railroad. 19 Trips In 10 Years. Minimum 90 Mile Walk Before Becoming A Spy & Soldier For The Union Army. The Reward For Her Capture Was Up To $40,000 Which Is Approx. $722,000 In 2021.
SONGS OF FREEDOM African American Spirituals AKA Traditional Negro Spirituals Had Hidden Meanings. Enslaved People Were Forbidden To Talk While They Worked, So They Sang. And NOT Because They Were Happy. They Communicated Escape Routes & Ways Under The Noses Of Their Unknowing & Ignorant Captors Via These Coded Songs
CHARIOT Was A Code Name For Harriet, HOME Was The Free States Or Canada, JORDAN Was Any Area Above The Mason Dixon Line, BAND OF ANGELS Were The Abolitionists & Conductors Of The Underground Railroad.
The DRINKING GOURD Was The Big Dipper Containing The North Star Which Guided People To Freedom. Each Verse Tells People How To Run Away Explaining The Rivers To Cross, And The Old Man Taking You To Freedom Were Again Conductors On The Underground Railroad.
Dogs Were Used To Hunt Down The Run Away Enslaved People & Harriet Would Sing This Telling People To Get In The Water So The Dogs Could Not Pick Up Their Scents.
