Archibald Henry Grimké: “The attempt to suppress the Abolitionists was a failure.”

He saw that they were not essentially unlike other races--that there was nothing morally or intellectually peculiar about them, and that the evil or the good which they manifested was the common property of mankind in similar circumstances.

Then you had better let all your irons burn than neglect your duty to the slave.

Is it any wonder that crime emerges out of such cruel and unequal conditions?

I would not take the word of a Southern Court on this point.
