It seems that there's a lot of people - mostly on the right, of course - who are incensed that we're taking Jackson's face off the $20 bill and replacing it with Harriet Tubman. After all, he was a war president and all she did was help run the Underground Railroad to help slaves to make it to freedom (such as it was before the 1964 Civil Rights Act).
So I'll propose an alternative female in her place. This particular female organized a team of scouts in wartime to operate behind enemy lines on riverine craft, her team (under the orders of the Secretary of War):
- mapped enemy positions and gathered other intel;
- disabled mines;
- destroyed supply routes;
- and took point to lead the Army to destroy enemy supply depots.
During the same campaign, she recruited nearly 200 new partisans to join the Army's efforts against the enemy, and at the same time freed 750 other captives. Her name? Check the sources.
