The Grimke sisters were abolitionists and champions of women's rights. Sarah Moore Grimke was born in 1792, and her sister Angelina Emily Grimke was born in 1805.
Sarah and Angelina Grimke where the 7th and 14th daughters of Judge John Grimke. Although John was a wealthy slave owner they probably didn't get an inheritance. Any monies and lands passed from father to oldest son.

The Grimke sisters inherited their family wealth from their father, who was a Southern plantation owner. Instead of using the inheritance to maintain a life of luxury, they used the wealth to support their abolitionist and women's rights activism. They dedicated their lives to fighting against slavery and advocating for women's equality.
The Grimke Sisters, Sarah and Angelina, were prominent abolitionists who spoke out against slavery through their lectures, writings, and activism in the 19th century. They were among the first American women to publicly advocate for the abolition of slavery and for women's rights. Their efforts helped to raise awareness about the injustices of slavery and contributed to the growing anti-slavery movement in the United States.
