A hero

What is a hero? (May I use heroes? A Plural noun uses to refer a common noun?) Who is a hero? Is Spiderman, who has the ability of to jump between high buildings, a hero? Are firefighters (Firefighters are common noun because we use plural noun, right?) or policemen heroes? There are many heroes over in the world.

To many North American slaves, Harriet Tubman was a hero (Can I write: Many North America slaves called Harriet Tubman to be a hero?) . Harriet Tubman is was an African-American woman (I use present simple because this is a reality, right?. In the past, she was an African-American woman. Now, she is an African-American woman. In the future, She is still an African-American woman). She was born in Maryland in 1820. There were eleven people in her family, and they were (all) slaves. Harriet wanted to be free. She got away from the slave owner and ran away to the north.

Harriet also helped others to be free. She went back and forth thirteen times between the north and the south. She led 300 slaves to the north by taking them to safe houses which were part of a secret network called the Underground. She took them from one safe house to another. When they reached the north, they were free.

Harriet also was an influential speaker. After the Civil War, she reached the eastern states of America to speak about the rights of women. She firmly supported women's right to vote.

Tubman was the epitome of a brave and heroic woman. She passed away in 1913 in New York.

What is a hero? (May I use heroes? A Plural noun uses to refer a common noun?) You could use "What are heroes?" but I prefer the singular version.

Who is a hero? Is Spiderman, who has the ability of to jump between high buildings, a hero? Are firefighters (Firefighters are common noun because we use plural noun, right?) or policemen heroes? There are many heroes over in the world.
I don't understand your point. "Firefighter" is a common noun simply because it is! It has nothing to do with plurals. It's a countable noun, that's why it can be turned into the plural.

To many North American slaves, Harriet Tubman was a hero (Can I write: Many North America slaves called Harriet Tubman to be a hero?) . No, you can't. You can say "considered her to be a hero" but "called her to be a hero" is ungrammatical.

Harriet Tubman is was an African-American woman (I use present simple because this is a reality, right?. In the past, she was an African-American woman. Now, she is an African-American woman. In the future, She is still an African-American woman). She's dead so you have to use the past tense.

To many North American slaves, Harriet Tubman was a hero (Can I write: Many North America slaves called Harriet Tubman to be a hero?). No, you can't. You can say "considered her to be a hero" but "called her to be a hero" is ungrammatical. (I read a newspaper, they wrote: “Many slaves called Harriet Tubman a hero”. I think that I write “Many North America slaves called Harriet Tubman” to be a hero the same as that. Please explain it to me, thanks)

Thank emsr2d2. Can you explain it to me.

Simply, we "call someone something". The "something" can be a noun or an adjective.

She called me a coward.
I called my sister an idiot.
He calls his dog "Bob".
She called her cousin ugly. As a result, her cousin called her rude.
