Seward, who served as Lincoln?s Secretary of State. All three refused to abide by laws that denied them the rights granted to white men, and they supported each other as they worked to overturn slavery and achieve full citizenship for blacks and women.'THE AGITATORS' opens when Tubman is a slave and Wright and Seward .
