I really liked this piece for a couple different reasons. The first reason is that it is a combination of the reform movement and the abolition movement. She makes the abolition movement a result of her religious conversion and her calling to "devote the remainder of my [her] days to piety and virtue" (pg 236). It is also fairly unique because this is addressed specifically at women. When it is addressed at women that are slaves or free blacks, it is addressing two of the biggest minorities in the United States at that time. --Mary Beth | I really liked this piece for a couple different reasons.

These are my favorite lines from this reading. They are both great arguments that get her point across. --Ashley V. | ||
