Wasn't she a raging racist?
No, she was raised in an egalitarian Quaker family who was very committed to social reform and she was working towards the abolition of slavery as young as her teens.
Yeah, but she didn’t want black men to vote if white women couldn’t.
She worked for suffrage for both groups. Reconstruction was going on and Black suffrage was a very new thing. She didn't want women to be left behind in civil rights, can't say I blame her.
Yikes. I guess it was more of a selfish pursuit of power and colonial American infighting than a wholesome stand for righteousness and equality. And John Brown spun in his grave once more.
Just wait until you hear how obsessed with George Washington John Brown was
I read a bit about it and, whilst uhhh "interesting " to say the least, it didn't change the fact that he lived and died for the enslaved man, whilst that lady was just a colonizer who didn't like her cut. 🤷♂️ But nobody's perfect, I know, I know.
