About the author

William Lloyd Garrison was a prominent American abolitionist, journalist, suffragist, and social reformer. He is best known as the editor of the abolitionist newspaper The Liberator, which he founded with Isaac Knapp in 1831 and published in Massachusetts until slavery was abolished by Constitutional amendment after the American Civil War. He was one of the founders of the American Anti-Slavery Society. He promoted "immediate emancipation" of slaves in the United States. In the 1870s, Garrison became a prominent voice for the woman suffrage movement.

Reviews

[Greg · Rating 3 out of 5]

Garrison was one of the big names in the abolition movement. Staunchly non-violent and uncompromising, he led the good fight for many years. Too bad he wasn't willing to accept differences with other abolitionists. A great primer on Abolitionist thought from a brave man.

Outdated, obviously, but still a great historical resource. He was very ahead of his time, morally. But still flawed. Interesting read.
