The Grimke sisters Angelina was born February 20th 1805 and Sarah was born November 26th 1792.The sisters were both born in Charleston south Carolina. They mostly lived on a farm mainly because their father owned slaves. The Grimke sisters both were against slavery and were abolitionists. The two sisters both lived with their father but Sarah and Angelina left when their father died but Sarah left first. Sarah died December 23rd 1873 in Hyde Massachusetts. Angelina on the other hand six years later Angelina died October 26st 1879. The two both were educated both had private tutors and Sarah attended college. Sarah had joined this group called antislavery in Hyde Massachusetts. She had did speeches with them for women rights. But after the death of their father Sarah convinced Angelina to join the antislavery group and she did. So both sisters did speeches and showed that they were against slavery. Angelina wrote this pamphlet called an appeal to the to the Christian women of the south. When it was published she made another one and it was burned and the girls were told if they don’t leave they will be arrested so they moved to New York. These women did a lot to help us have women rights and to be able to vote.
