Angelina Emily Grimké: “Hast thou thought of these things? or carest thou not for the blessings and the prayers of these our suffering brethren?”

Perhaps you have feared the consequences of immediate Emancipation, and been frightened by all those dreadful prophecies of rebellion, bloodshed and murder, which have been uttered.

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

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

I can prove the safety of immediate Emancipation by history.
