Angelina Emily Grimké: “The giant of slavery who had so proudly defied the armies of the living God, had received his death-blow before he left…”

So far from thinking slavery a sin, or that I had no right to own the slaves inherited from my father, I thought no one could venture to dispute that right, any more than he could my right to his land or his stock.

Slavery must be attacked with the whole power of truth and the sword of the spirit.

The laws greatly obstruct the manumission of slaves, even where the master is willing to enfranchise them.

Consequences, my friends, belong no more to you, than they did to these apostles.
