Angelina Emily Grimké: “And have the slaveholder, and his obsequious apologist, gained any thing by all their violence and falsehood?”

I can prove the safety of immediate Emancipation by history.

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.

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.
