| Liberator, The,
weekly newspaper of abolitionist
crusader William Lloyd Garrison for 35 years
(Jan. 1, 1831-Dec. 29, 1865). It was the most influential antislavery periodical
in the pre-Civil War period of U.S. history. Although The Liberator, published in Boston, could claim a paid circulation
of only 3,000, it reached a much wider audience with its uncompromising advocacy
of immediate emancipation for the millions of black Americans held in bondage
throughout the South. In the North, Garrison's message of moral suasion
challenged moderate reformers to apply the principles of the Declaration of
Independence to all people, regardless of colour. Fearful slaveholders in the
South, erroneously assuming that The
Liberator represented the majority opinion of Northerners, reacted
militantly by defending slavery as a "positive good" and by
legislating ever more stringent measures to suppress all possible opposition to
its "peculiar institution." Garrison's publication further altered the
course of the American antislavery movement by insisting that abolition, rather
than African colonization, was the answer to the problem of slavery. See
also abolitionism . |
