Best Answer

Deborah Sampson was a woman who wanted to fight in the Revolutionary War, but they wouldn't let her because she was a woman. She disguised herself as a man named Robert Shurtliff and fought better than some of the men! She later got wounded but removed the bullet all by herself so no one would find out that she was a woman. She also got a fever later, and the doctor eventually found out she was a woman. She was honorably discharged from the army and was given a pension of $4 a month after Paul Revere wrote to Congress on her behalf.

Deborah and her mother both had the same name , Deborah Sampson.

Deborah Sampson used the name Robert Surtlieff for military it was also the name of her younger brother.

Deborah pulled a bullet out of her leg on her own so that her identity wasn't discovered.

Although Deborah was a good solider she was afraid that the other solders would shot her if they found out about her being a women.
