1. **State the problem:** Calculate the value of the expression $(-5) - (-19)$.
2. **Recall the rule:** Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart. So, $a - (-b) = a + b$.
3. **Apply the rule:**
$$(-5) - (-19) = (-5) + 19$$
4. **Calculate:**
$$-5 + 19 = 14$$
5. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{14}$$
