Excerpt from Angelina Emily Grimke’s Letter XII, October 2, 1837
The investigation of the rights of the slave has led me to a better understanding of my own. I have fought the Anti-Slavery cause to be the high school of morals in our land—the school in which human rights are more fully investigated, and better understood and taught, than in any other. . . . Human beings have rights, because they are moral beings: the rights of all men grow out of their moral nature; and as all men have the same moral nature, they have essentially the same rights. These rights may be wrested from the slave, but they cannot be alienated. . . . Now if rights are founded in the nature of our moral being, then the mere circumstances of sex does not give to man higher rights and responsibilities, than to women. . . . To suppose that it does, would be to break up utterly the relations, of the two natures . . . exalting the animal nature into a monarch, and humbling the moral into a slave.
