Right? DEFINITELY NOT. What about on April 18, 1775 when Paul Revere rode through Massachusetts shouting, "The British are coming!" to start the American Revolution. That happened, right? NOPE! Does that mean that before the Civil War, abolitionists didn't actually use quilts and signal lanterns to guide enslaved people along the Underground Railroad? NOW YOU'RE GETTING IT!
