Шаблон:Short description The Colored Female Religious and Moral Society was an African American women's club organized in 1818 in Salem, Massachusetts.[1] The group was started by forty women and they created their own constitution.[2] The group's constitution was published in the Liberator, an abolitionist paper.[3] The members promised that they would "be charitably watchful over each other."[4] Members also were required to take an oath of secrecy.[5] The organization was religious in nature, but they also worked to get sickness and death benefits for others.[6] In 1833, after membership had dwindled, the society was again revived.[7] Many of the members were "Christian propertied elite."[5]
