Together these South Carolina sisters made history: daring to speak before “promiscuous” or mixed crowds of men and women, publishing some of the most powerful anti-slavery tracts of the antebellum era, and stretching the boundaries of women’s public role as the first women to testify before a state legislature on the question of African American rights.]]> 2017-10-25 19:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/200601826 ibrown19 https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202867946 They were daughters of a slave-holding judge, and developed a dislike of slavery at early ages. They joined many abolition groups and fought diligently to secure the rights of slaves. In their efforts, the sisters discovered their passion for women’s rights and continued their quest for freedom for all. ]]> 2017-11-02 12:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202867946 ibrown19 https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202869080 The Grimke sisters were among the first women to speak publicly in the US.

They lectured on anti-slavery throughout New England as the first female agents of the American Anti-Slavery Society and enlisted women in the abolitionist cause. They also became pioneers in the women's rights movement.]]> 2017-11-02 12:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202869294 ibrown19 https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202869887 They spent the rest of their lives teaching school for girls and remained active in abolition and women’s rights. They published many books and pamphlets supporting their ideas such as when Sarah published "Epistle to the Clergy of the Southern States" in 1836 and Angelina published an "Appeal to the Women of the Nominally Free States" in 1837.]]> 2017-11-02 12:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202869887 ibrown19 https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202870529 They were powerful writers, although Sarah was an even better writer. They kept summaries of the abolitionist arguments which would eventually lead to the Civil War. Sarah's work addressed, 150 years early, many issues that are still familiar to the modern feminist movement.]]> 2017-11-02 12:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202870529 ibrown19 https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202872465 Sarah (left) Angelina (right)]]> 2017-11-02 12:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202872465 ibrown19 https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202875290 These sisters as well as their followers influenced things such as the abolition of slavery, everyone being equal no matter what race, and women's right to vote. ]]> 2017-11-02 13:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202875290 ibrown19 https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202876960 in 1833 Angelina wrote a letter to William Lloyd Garrison , the editor of the main abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator. She changed the sisters' lives forever. William Lloyd Garrison published her letter and inadvertently put the sisters at the forefront of the fight to abolish slavery. This act infuriated the Quakers of Philadelphia because Quaker members were not allowed to do anything without the permission of the church. ]]> 2017-11-02 13:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202876960 ibrown19 https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202880565 2017-11-02 13:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202880565 ibrown19 https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202880798 2017-11-02 13:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202880798 ibrown19 https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202881001 2017-11-02 13:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202881001 ibrown19 https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202886245 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL5IK4UDXdE]]> 2017-11-02 13:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ibrown19/2mjth92ynd5m/wish/202886245
