Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Sisters Sarah and Angelina Grimké grew up in wealth and privilege in early nineteenth century Charleston, South Carolina. Following the standards of the time, they should have known nothing but prosperity, high social status, and Southern gentility for all their lives.

Shaped by their religious beliefs and a fierce sense of compassion, the sisters moved north to begin a fight that would change America forever.Historian and author Angelica Shirley Carpenter tells the remarkable true story of the sisters' lives as they cut a swath across the northeastern United States, speaking out against slavery even while facing violence from pro-slavery mobs.
