An Epistle to the Clergy of the Southern States

An Epistle to the Clergy of the Southern States

Slavery -- United States -- Controversial literature.

Published in December by the American Anti-Slavery Society, Sarah Grimke’s “An Epistle” refuted the argument that slavery is justified because it appears in the Bible. She argued that slavery was irreconcilable with Christianity, in an attempt to persuade the Southern clergy to take the lead in opposing slavery.

Grimke, Sarah Moore (1792-1873)
