9×11inKnown as the Father of the Nation among Puerto Ricans, Betances was an active doctor, politician, and abolitionist. A leader among equals, Betances sparked a movement founded on the natural rights of men and women to determine the status of their land and to pursue their individual, God-given liberties. To this end, he fought against opponents of Puerto Rico and welcomed the support from outsiders who believed in his cause.

His hope was in a good, bountiful harvest.
