Excerpt from Seventh Annual Report of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society: Presented October 14, 1840
Seven years have passed, since we became united under the name of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, with the pledge to do all in our power for the extinction of slavery.
Our first year of association was marked by no event of peculiar interest. The oppressive spirit of the nation had not then been roused by antislavery effort, to a view of its danger; nor had we, as an association, attained a clear perception of the means whereby we might most effectually bring our moral power to bear against slavery.
But the second year was marked by a clearer comprehension, and by decided success in breaking up the stupor that surrounded us. It was the year 1835; - remembered in our annals as the year of blind fury and outward attack; the year which showed those who had ever before declared that they were as much abolitionists as we what manner of spirit they were of; making them feel that they were in sympathy with the oppressor, and enemies of the slave.
