 Africans in America/Part 4/Narrative: Antebellum Slavery
The marriage of ardent abolitionist Fanny Kemble and Pierce Butler, heir to one of the largest slaveholding plantations in the nation, mirrored the unhappy union between southern slaveholders and northern abolitionists in the years leading up to the Civil War.
Kemble initially thought the slaves were well off, and her early descriptions betray how influenced she was by the racism of the time.
Kemble's earnest petitions on their account, and her honest efforts to come to an egalitarian understanding, foreshadowed those of the nation, as abolitionist whites struggled to move from a patronizing approach to a more comprehensive understanding of fls as their equals and a willingness to share power and leadership with them in the abolitionist societies.
