A definition of a hero is a person who is willing to help or sacrifice for other people when they have problems or troubles. Harriet Tubman is classified as a hero because she is willing to risk her life and help other in slaved people to escape from their slavery. If she get caught doing this, she will definitely get killed. Her goal is to bring the in slaved people north to Canada. She used her underground railroad system to travel to Canada, which is a promise land to all the in slaved people. During the travel, there are people who are willing to help these people who are escaping. They gave them food to eat and a warm place to stay for the night. After a month, they finally arrived at their promise land, Canada.
Barbara Fritechie is also classified as a hero, when the Confederate troops are marching into their town, she bravely raised the American flag at the troop. All the soldiers are ready to shoot at the Barbara, but the general stopped the soldiers that are ready to shoot. He is doing the right thing, so the general can be also classified as a hero.
