William Lloyd Garrison Publishes The Liberator 1831 (1 déc. 1830 – 1 janv. 1831)

Description:

William Lloyd Garrison Publishes The Liberator
Context & Impact: The Liberator was a radical abolitionist newspaper published by Garrison, advocating for the immediate emancipation of all slaves. It used strong moral arguments to rally support for abolitionism, marking a shift from earlier, more gradualist approaches.

Effect on Later Events: Garrison’s call for immediate emancipation intensified the national debate on slavery. He inspired the American Anti-Slavery Society (1833), which contributed to the increasing polarization between the North and South. Garrison’s aggressive rhetoric also alarmed Southerners, leading to more repression and contributing to the Gag Rule (1836), which prevented Congress from discussing anti-slavery petitions.
