| William Lloyd Garrison was a leading abolitionist who established The Liberator, official newspaper of the antislavery movement, in 1831. Garrison welcomed Frederick Douglass to the movement, but later broke with him over the issue of political action. Douglass became convinced that progress toward abolition could be made by working through the political system and electing anti-slavery candidates to office. Garrison wanted no political ties, arguing that the Constitution was immoral because of its slavery provisions and even going so far as to suggest that the North secede to rid itself of slavery. |
