Angelina Emily Grimké: “The Bible then is the book I want you to read in the spirit of inquiry, and the spirit of prayer.”

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

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.

What can I say more, my friends, to induce you to set your hands, and heads, and hearts, to this great work of justice and mercy.
