Journal Entry 19: Do the Right Thing :)

Barbara Frietchie would be considered a hero because she was really loyal to her country for picking up the Union flag that the men hauled down and she place it on her window, even though she might have been shot by Stonewall Jackson for doing such a thing. Stonewall Jackson eventually felt ashamed of himself when he saw an old lady willing to risk her life for an Union flag, while he was going to destroy it. Harriet Tubman is also considered a hero too because she was really brave for leading the slaves to freedom, even though she would be a traitor to the slaves' owner. She is also brave because she is willing to risk her life for the slaves just to let them know what freedom feels like, although the slaves that were running away had to try hard to gain freedom and sometimes they wanted to give up, but Harriet Tubman would just tell them successful stories about other slaves running away, so that they would continue their escape and not give up.
