Sands. Harriet develops a sexual relationship with him and gets pregnant, believing that Dr. flint will become so furious that he will sell her. However, he has no intention of selling her. Correlating these events to the views of Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson reveals that one half of the nations" citizens are violating the rights of the other one half of citizens. This view of Jefferson, in fact, is directly portrayed in this section of Harriet's life story. Although there is only one slave and one master to compare to the figure of one half violators to one half violated, Dr. Flint is symbolic of the one half violators and Harriet is symbolic of the one half violated. After giving birth, Harriet knows if she does not escape from Dr. Flint, he will put her child through the same abuse and disrespect that he is making her suffer. She decides to run away and takes hiding in a crawl space in her grandmother's house. Harriet remains there for seven years and then finally escapes to freedom in 1842. Upon reaching her freedom, she becomes an active abolitionist. Harriet supports Jefferson's ideas of emancipation by the actions she takes. Jefferson states, "We must be contented to hope they will force their way emancipation, and that this is disposed in the order of events, to be with the consent of the master, rather than by their extirpation"(15). In his own way, as verified in the previous statement, Jefferson is an abolitionist. He voices his anti-slavery opinions, but he does not seem to take any actions in an attempt to rid our country of it. .
