The front of the bill features Harriet Tubman holding a lantern and a pistol, while the back of the bill features the burning of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/aia\/part4\/4p2938.html\"><span>Pennsylvania Hall<\/span><\/a><span> \u2014 the headquarters of Philadelphia\u2019s slavery abolition movement, which was torched by an angry mob four days after its opening in May 1838.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OGchrisO\/status\/1318235093828358146\"><span>https:\/\/twitter.com\/OGchrisO\/status\/1318235093828358146<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>In addition to other imagery recalling the abolition of slavery, the bill pointed recipients toward a website called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tubman20.com\/\"><span>Tubman20.com<\/span><\/a><span>, which announced an in-person and livestreamed rally on August 1 at the former site of Pennsylvania Hall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>T. Russell Hunter \u2014 nineteenth-century historian, founder of Free the States, and the artist who designed the Tubman 20 \u2014 explained to virtual and in-person attendees that though the abolitionists who opposed slavery are lauded in the modern era, they were loathed by the vast majority of Americans in the decades leading to the Civil War.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gho8a5TAWWM\"><span>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gho8a5TAWWM<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHarriet Tubman is popular today,\u201d said Hunter. \u201cHer abolitionist friends are popular today. You can watch PBS documentaries about the abolitionists William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass\u2026 But when Harriet Tubman was living in this city, she was an outlaw. People tried to chase her down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Hunter then explained that Tubman\u2019s faith in Jesus Christ drove her to boldly push for the end of slavery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHarriet Tubman \u2014 and these men and women in the abolitionist movement \u2014 rejected all compromise with slavery. They demanded its total and immediate abolition. These abolitionists not only argued that slavery was evil, but they argued that gradual abolition was evil. They spent as much time arguing with moderate anti-slavery gradualists as they did arguing against slavery itself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHere\u2019s the point. Does our culture truly support Harriet Tubman?\u201d Hunter asked the attendees. \u201cDo we appreciate people like Harriet Tubman, or do we treat abolitionists of today in the way we treated abolitionists of the past?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Hunter said that Free The States \u2014 operating under the name \u201cHuman Art Tribe,\u201d an anagram for \u201cHarriet Tubman,\u201d for the project \u2014 agrees with Tubman\u2019s methodology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe find ourselves in a similar situation today among a similar people,\u201d he explained. \u201cChattel slavery is no longer legal; it has been abolished. The Supreme Court no longer prohibits individuals or states from helping those in bondage. However, the federal government, every state government, and the majority of the population totally, emphatically, and unquestionably protects the Supreme Court-sanctioned evil of our own age\u2026 I am talking about the evil of human abortion and the movement to abolish it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As soon as Hunter mentioned abortion, countless attendees left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cSome of these folks that leave, that don\u2019t want to hear us out \u2014 they don\u2019t realize that they are treating us just the same way as they treated the abolitionists of an earlier age,\u201d Hunter noted. \u201cThey were willing to celebrate abolitionists like Harriet Tubman until someone said, \u2018You agree with her then, but you would not agree with her now.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe believe that these children ought to be rescued from being taken away to death. Like her, we believe that we should not live for ourselves, but we should live for others. Like her, we believe in and follow Christ. We believe that He leads the abolitionist cause, and that His gospel is the answer to abortion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Hunter told The Daily Wire that \u201c<\/span><span>it was very interesting to note who left and who stayed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAlmost all the white liberals stormed off in anger when the rally switched gears,\u201d he said. \u201cBut not a single black person left. Many of them stayed for more than thirty minutes after the rally was over to talk about abolitionism and have me sign their bills. Our message resonated strongly with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOur culture thinks they like Harriet Tubman, but that\u2019s only because they have created a false, secularized version of her,\u201d Hunter continued. \u201cShe was a Bible-quoting, gun-toting, evangelical Christian abolitionist who trusted in God\u2019s providence above all else. Tubman was the furthest thing from a modern leftist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Hunter observed, however, that Tubman would by no means consider herself a pro-life Republican.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cTubman demanded slavery\u2019s total and immediate abolition. She told Lincoln, \u2018Never wound a snake. Kill it.\u2019 She supported nullifying tyrannical fugitive slave laws. She supported immediatism, nullification, and many more of the principles pro-life leaders argue against when they oppose abolition bills.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBecause of this, we set out to teach the culture about immediatism, nullification, and <\/span><span>\u2014<\/span><span> most importantly <\/span><span>\u2014<\/span><span> the gospel of Jesus Christ that animated Harriet Tubman,\u201d said Hunter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tubman20.com will continue to promote the gospel and the immediate abolition of abortion; it will eventually host Free The States\u2019 documentary about the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
