An Appeal to the Christian Women of the South (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169199545)

An Appeal To The Christian Women Of The South is a book written by Angelina Emily Grimke, a prominent abolitionist and women's rights activist in the 19th century. The book is a passionate plea to the Christian women of the South to join the abolitionist movement and fight against the institution of slavery. Grimke argues that slavery is a sin against God and humanity, and that it is the duty of all Christians to work towards its abolition. She also addresses the issue of women's rights, arguing that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men. The book is written in a persuasive and emotional style, and is considered a landmark work in the history of the abolitionist and women's rights movements. It was originally published in 1836 and remains a powerful and inspiring call to action for Christians and activists today.Before going into an examination of the laws by which these servants were protected, I would just ask whether American slaves have become slaves in any of the ways in which the Hebrews became servants. Did they sell themselves into slavery and receive the purchase money into their own hands? No! Did they become insolvent, and by their own imprudence subject themselves to be sold as slaves? No! Did they steal the property of another, and were they sold to make restitution for their crimes? No! Did their present masters, as an act of kindness, redeem them from some heathen tyrant to whom they had sold themselves in the dark hour of adversity? No!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
