Hannibal was pivotal for Carthage's development on the world stage, he was the mastermind behind the second punic war, from start to finish, he was the one who brought rome close to it's knees, ultimately failed and set in motion the eventual decline of his civilization, if not for him Carthage would have taken a significantly different road, it might have been integrated into Rome more slowly, survived as a semi-independent state, or even be nowhere near as memorable and been a relatively minor historical footnote if Rome had just sliced them up slowly
his life made immense difference in how Carthage ended and how it is remembered
Tubman however? Outside of the US literally nobody knows who she is or what she did, nor did anything she do matter in the long term, there are literally and I'm not overreacting here, hundreds of better choices to lead the US over her
Not to mention, and this is important: she was not a leader in any capacity way shape or form
and up until civ 7 that was a basic utter basic most requirement: a leader had to have actually led something notable, the whole nation or people, an important military campaign, something, anything, Tubman fails in this utterly
