Opposition to Slavery
The Vesey and Turner revolts had another effect on South Carolina. Most southern whites who criticized slavery in the past no longer did so. Their views were no longer acceptable to the vast majority of South Carolinians and other southerners. Not all South Carolinians favored slavery, but after the Vesey plot, those opposed to slavery either left the state or kept silent.
In earlier years, both the Methodists and the Quakers had opposed slavery. The small group of Quakers in South Carolina left the state in protest. The Methodist church, at first, would not allow slave owners to join the church. But as slavery grew in importance, the church had to change its policy to attract members. Methodist ministers were forced by public opinion to either change their views about slavery or keep quiet.
Two noted abolitionists, those people who wanted to abolish or end slavery, who left the state were Angelina and Sarah Grimke of Charleston. The Grimke sisters were from a prominent, aristocratic Charleston family who owned slaves. The Grimkes moved north where their views were more acceptable. The two sisters became outspoken antislavery leaders and lectured widely in the North for abolitionist groups. When northerners began attacking slavery, South Carolinians and other southerners started defending it. Religious and political leaders started speaking out more and more in its favor. Ministers claimed that the Bible justified slavery. Political leaders said that slavery was necessary. John C. Calhoun went so far as to say that slavery was a “positive good.” Abolitionist literature printed in the North was kept out of South Carolina by postal workers, and books like Uncle Tom’s Cabin were condemned as false. Some people even tried to keep such books out of the state. The culture of South Carolina became one in which a certain set of beliefs was held onto tightly. Anyone who disagreed with those beliefs was an outsider.
