I noticed a running theme expressed by different abolitionists and I wondered if anyone else noticed this:
In the Sojourner Truth handout we were given in class she expresses that she is a women, although she has never been treated in the way women supposedly are.
In the powerpoint we were shown, Angelina Grimke I felt made a similar point about being a slave, resonating the idea that slaves are humans, although they are not treated the way humans supposedly are.
