In their fight for abolition, what did the gimke sisters realize? Women lacked full political and social rights? Temperance was the only way to achieve a moral society? Immigrants were being denied the rights to vote by nativist? Free African American sat on an example by successfully positioning the government for suffrage?
In their fight for abolition, the Grimké sisters realized that women lacked full political and social rights. They recognized that gender inequality was deeply ingrained in society, and they saw the parallels between the oppression of women and that of enslaved people.
While the Grimké sisters were advocates for temperance, they did not believe that temperance was the only way to achieve a moral society. Their primary focus was on advocating for the abolition of slavery and the equal rights of women.
Concerning immigrant rights, it is not explicitly mentioned if the Grimké sisters fought for or against immigrant suffrage. However, as advocates for equal rights, they likely supported the idea of granting voting rights to immigrants.
Although the Grimké sisters fought for the freedom and rights of African Americans, it is incorrect to say that they successfully positioned the government for suffrage. While they heavily influenced the abolitionist movement and inspired many other activists, it was not until years later, after their time, that African Americans and women gained full suffrage rights.
