Angelina Emily Grimké: “Surely you believe that his aim is not shortened that he cannot save.”

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.

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

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.

I can prove the safety of immediate Emancipation by history.
