that's what we still call it, the pennsylvania palace of art. because we're at the height of industry, height of capitalism. it wanted to show it's industrial, commercial wealth. and it did that thru the capitol building. so all this gold leaf and aluminum leaf and copper and everything else incorporated wanted to show it's at the height of architecistry. they actually go up through the next floor through giants chains and turn buckles. and they're attached to the steel tresses of the roof so they don't fall. the big chapd leers were done by a bronze company out of new york. the smaller sconces were done pie the pennsylvania bronze company located in philadelphia. the murals in the chamber here, the first mural is called the apothioses of pennsylvania history. so we have a state figure up at the top. and loosely grouped by famous religious figures in pennsylvania history, famous generals, explorers, filan thul thrupistes and the like. he kind of took that and worked into his own understanding. and then the last mural on the other side is the fir

the pennsylvania abolition society led the anti-slavery movement in the state, pennsylvania as i mentioned before had passed a gradual emancipation law in 1780 and the society was worked to incorporate former shrives into the republic as citizens caller the nation at large the abolition society projected confidence that the course of history was on its side. right, it is referencing the abolition act and referencing there are societies forming both at home and internationally, there is a real sense of confidence in this petition. the petition argued that people of african decent weren indict tooitle to an equal liberty with their free white counterparts. and em fazig the equal humanity of slaves rather than the status as property and they urged congress to approach the topic of slavery in this light. moreover, the petition linked the founding principles of the new nation or what it called the political creed of america, with the cause of slavery's abolition and to clinch this point, the pennsylvania abolition society had its president and a leading figure of american national identity sign
