William Lloyd Garrison was a prominent American abolitionist, journalist, and social reformer who founded and published The Liberator, an anti-slavery newspaper. He advocated for the immediate and uncompensated emancipation of slaves, and was a co-founder of the American Anti-Slavery Society. Initially opposed to violence, Garrison later supported armed struggle during the Civil War. Despite facing threats and backlash for his beliefs, he also became a key advocate for women’s rights, contributing to the women’s suffrage movement in the 1870s. Garrison’s work as a typesetter was instrumental in the operation of The Liberator.
