HARRIET TUBMAN is credited with being the first woman to lead a military assault. Harriet Tubman organized the Historic Combahee River Raid with the help of Col. James Montgomery and the 2nd South Carolina USCT Volunteer Army. The Combahee River Raid liberated 725 enslaved men and women without losing the life of one single Union soldier.
