Description
This is a broadside printing of the letter sent to William Lloyd Garrison, editor of The Liberator, from Angelina Grimke shortly after the infamous Proslavery Riot in Boston. Grimke wrote in response to a series of mob riots in Boston, Philadelphia, Canterbury, CT, Concord, MA, and Charleston, SC. In this letter/broadside, Grimke unequivocally attacks members of the clergy and other prominent gentlemen of Boston, who watched from the sidelines the activity of the mob.
