He was one of the founders of the American Anti-Slavery Society, and promoted immediate and uncompensated, as opposed to gradual and compensated, emancipation of slaves in the United States.

Abolistionist movement = sharp change in the temper with W.L. Garrison -> radical and opposed to gradual emancipation -> should be approached from the viewpoint of the slaves.
