Book excerpt: William Lloyd Garrison didn't mind the threatening letters. In fact, he expected them. After all, he was the most famous-and outspoken-abolitionist in the United States. In 1831, when Garrison started his antislavery newspaper, most white Americans simply accepted slavery as a fact of life. Whether in the North or South, whites assumed that they would always be free and that blacks-at least of them-would always be slaves. So when Garrison called his fellow white Americans hypocrites and criminals for supporting slavery, he wasn't surprised that some people responded with angry letters. Garrison spent his life fighting against slavery. His dedication made him an outcast in his own city, cost him close friendships, and left him struggling to earn enough to supports his family. But he never gave up, because he always believed that he was right. Before long, he was not alone in the struggle, as he inspired more and more Americans to join one of the greatest social movements in the nation's history. Book jacket.

Download or read book The Making of an Abolitionist written by Denis Brennan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Lloyd Garrison's life as an abolitionist and advocate for social change was dependent on his training as a printer. None who have studied Garrison can ignore his editorship of The Liberator but many have not fully understood his belief in the central role of a well-edited newspaper in the maintenance of a healthy republic and the struggle to reform society. Church, politics and publishing were the three foundations of Garrison's life. Newspapers, he believed, were especially important, for they provided citizens in a democracy the information necessary to make their own choices. When ministers and politicians in the North and the South refused to address the horror of slavery and became tacit advocates for the "peculiar institution," he was compelled to employ the printing press in protest. This book traces his path from printer to publisher of The Liberator. Garrison had not become a publisher to advocate abolition; he was a mechanic and an editor, later a reformer, but always a printer. His expertise with the printing press and the practice of journalism became for him the natural means for ending slavery.

Download or read book The Problem of Democracy in the Age of Slavery written by W. Caleb McDaniel and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2013-05-06 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garrison signaled the importance of these ties to his movement with the well-known cosmopolitan motto he printed on every issue of his famous newspaper, The Liberator: "Our Country is the World--Our Countrymen are All Mankind." That motto serves as an impetus for McDaniel's study, which shows that Garrison and his movement must be placed squarely within the context of transatlantic mid-nineteenth-century reform. Through exposure to contemporary European thinkers--such as Alexis de Tocqueville, Giuseppe Mazzini, and John Stuart Mill--Garrisonian abolitionists came to understand their own movement not only as an effort to mold public opinion about slavery but also as a measure to defend democracy in an Atlantic World still dominated by aristocracy and monarchy. While convinced that democracy offered the best form of government, Garrisonians recognized that the persistence of slavery in the United States revealed problems with the political system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the fascinating, fraught alliance among Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, and Maria Weston Chapman—and how its breakup led to the success of America’s most important social movement. “Fresh, provocative and engrossing.” —New York Times In the crucial early years of the Abolition movement, the Boston branch of the cause seized upon the star power of the eloquent ex-slave Frederick Douglass to make its case for slaves’ freedom. Journalist William Lloyd Garrison promoted emancipation while Garrison loyalist Maria Weston Chapman, known as “the Contessa,” raised money and managed Douglass’s speaking tour from her Boston townhouse. Conventional histories have seen Douglass’s departure for the New York wing of the Abolition party as a result of a rift between Douglass and Garrison. But, as acclaimed historian Linda Hirshman reveals, this completely misses the woman in power. Weston Chapman wrote cutting letters to Douglass, doubting his loyalty; the Bostonian abolitionists were shot through with racist prejudice, even aiming the N-word at Douglass among themselves. Through incisive, original analysis, Hirshman convinces that the inevitable breakup was in fact a successful failure. Eventually, as the most sought-after Black activist in America, Douglass was able to dangle the prize of his endorsement over the Republican Party’s candidate for president, Abraham Lincoln. Two years later the abolition of slavery—if not the abolition of racism—became immutable law.
