I Think Slavery Is The Next

This statement comes from Sarah Bradford's Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman (1869), in which Tubman described the condition of enslavement in stark moral terms. Tubman, who was a devout Methodist, framed slavery as a theological as well as physical evil — a view that motivated her religious conviction that she was doing God's work in leading people to freedom. The comparison to hell reflects the absolute moral condemnation that characterised her public testimony.
