Absent from the article is the pivotal role Tubman played in John Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry on October 16, 1859. She aided and abetted Brown's raid by providing him with a pool of willing former slaves to join Brown in his attack on the arsenal. She was fully aware of the date and location of the attack. Brown was executed for this act of treason, but apparently Tubman escaped prosecution for reasons unknown to me. Had she been held accountable for this act of treason in 1859, her notable achievements would have been cut short at an early age.
