She was a very determined woman, a Quaker and an abolitionist. She tried to integrate the school at which she taught, but when she was unable to do so, she founded the first school for black female students in Connecticut, in 1833. Unfortunately, her attempts to educate black students earned her the scorn of many white residents of the state; even some politicians objected, saying that black people were inherently inferior and did not deserve an education. Crandall was soon subjected to legal proceedings, as white citizens tried to close her school; she endured two trials, and even spent a night in jail, as anger against her intensified. Ultimately, vandals broke the windows of her school and arsonists set it on fire. In the face of such hostility, she decided not to rebuild it, and it closed in 1834. She married a minister, and lived with her husband in several states (including Massachusetts and Illinois). After he died, she moved to Kansas, and lived there till her death in 1890.
