Angelina Emily Grimké: “The same prejudice exists here against our colored brethren that existed against the Gentiles in Judea.”

I have attempted to vindicate the Abolitionists, to prove the entire safety of immediate Emancipation, and to plead the cause of the poor and oppressed.

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.

They were occasioned not by Emancipation, but by the base attempt to fasten the chains of slavery on the limbs of liberated slaves.

Slavery may produce these horrible scenes if it is continued five years longer, but Emancipation never will.
