In 1834, she retired from the theatre to marry an American, Pierce Butler, heir to a large fortune founded on cotton, tobacco and rice. When the couple married, he was not a slaveholder, but by the time their two daughters, Sarah and Frances were born, Pierce Butler had inherited his grandfather's Sea Island plantations and the several hundred slaves who worked them. Fanny accompanied him to Georgia during the winter of 1838-39, and was deeply shocked by the conditions of the slaves and their treatment. The couple were divorced in 1849, with Butler keeping custody of the two daughters until they came of age. In 'Journal of A Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838-1839', Kemble wrote, 'I have sometimes been haunted with the idea that it was an imperative duty. Knowing what I know, and having seen what I have seen, to do all that lies in my power to show the dangers and the evils of this frightful institution'. A powerful and scarce book.
