Question 2

Explain the role of William Lloyd Garrison in the abolitionist movement.

Accepted Answer

William Lloyd Garrison, a white journalist advocating immediate emancipation, began publishing the antislavery newspaper The Liberator. The Liberator served for thirty years as the central voice of the abolition movement. It drew together a group of antislavery advocates, many of whom were evangelical preachers affiliated with the Lane Theological Seminary in Cincinnati (men like Lyman Beecher and Theodore Weld). The ideas of the Second Great Awakening prodded these leaders to advocate immediate emancipation, although many other northern white churches were slower to adopt the cause of emancipation, prompting Garrison to attack them for their complicity. Garrison was clearly the most steadfast in his pursuit of abolition: at one point, he publicly burned a copy of the U.S. Constitution, suggesting that it too was complicit in allowing slavery (which, of course, it was). This action, and others like it, alienated Garrison from many white abolitionists who favored gradualism. In 1833, Garrison founded the American Anti-Slavery Society, an organization that served as a point of contact for escaped slaves like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman.
