Angelina Emily Grimké: “Do you really believe that patriarchal servitude was like American slavery?”

There is nothing to fear from immediate Emancipation, but every thing from the continuance of slavery.

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

And why not try it in the Southern States, if it never has occasioned rebellion; if not a drop of blood has ever been shed in consequence of it, though it has been so often tried, why should we suppose it would produce such disastrous…

I can prove the safety of immediate Emancipation by history.
