Angelina Grimke was raised in a slaveholding family in the South and witnessed firsthand the brutalities of slavery, which fueled her abolitionist activism. In contrast, Catherine Beecher was a white Northerner who did not have personal experience with slavery but supported the idea of gradual emancipation and the colonization of freed slaves. Grimke's experience was rooted in the reality of slavery's horrors, while Beecher's perspective was influenced by her upbringing in a society that upheld racial hierarchies.
