Harriet Tubman wasn't president, Harry Truman was.

Reasons why he used the atomic bomb are debated. Some speculate that it was because it cost a lot to make and that was enough reason; others believe that he was using it as retaliation for Pearl Harbor. Many believe that Truman was convinced dropping the bomb would force Japan to surrender, but others say that Japan would have surrendered soon even without it. It's not clear exactly why he used it, and it's possible that it was a little bit of everything
