Angelina Emily Grimké: “The slave being considered a personal chattel may be sold or pledged, or leased at the will of his master.”

I can prove the safety of immediate Emancipation by history.

They are decidedly more prosperous than any of those in which the apprenticeship system was adopted, and England is now trying to abolish that system, so fully convinced is she that immediate Emancipation is the safest and the best plan.

I have endeavoured to set before you the exceeding sinfulness of slavery, and to point you to the example of those noble women who have been raised up in the church to effect great revolutions, and to suffer for the truth's sake.

What can I say more, my friends, to induce you to set your hands, and heads, and hearts, to this great work of justice and mercy.
