William Lloyd Garrison was also a famous abolitionist. He lived in Newburyport, Massachusetts, from 1805 to 1879. In 1830, William Lloyd Garrison became involved with “immediate emancipation.” In 1831, he started publishing his newspaper called The Liberator in Boston. This paper was supported by many free slaves. In 1833, Garrison and many other people from all races met in Philadelphia to establish the American Anti-Slavery Society, which said that slavery is a sin and it should be abolished immediately. Even though many abolitionists were pro-Union, Garrison felt like the Union should be “dissolved” since they supported the Constitution, which he felt was a pro-slavery document. Garrison wasn’t a fan of war, because he thought that slavery should be abolished peacefully, but he supported the Civil War.

On Monday July 5th, 1852, Frederick Douglass captivated his audience at Corinthian Hall in Rochester, New York with one of the most powerful antislavery orations ever delivered, “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?”1 As an African American and former slave himself, Douglass was a crucial component to the Civil Rights movement and the abolishment of slavery.

With the purpose of his speech firmly defined, he now has the liberty to expound upon the true evil of slavery that lurks in the shadow of hypocrisy. He employs the satirical technique of ridicule to expose the ugly nature of enslavement with equally ugly diction. Douglass’ disapproval ranges from “hideous” to “revolting” to “an outrage”, and culminates in the assertion that slavery is the “greatest sin and shame of America” (125).

The idea of abolition emerged as many began to debate the morality of the institution of slavery. In comparison of ideas such as gradualism, or the return of African-Americans back to the continent of Africa, it called for the complete emancipation of slaves. White abolitionists emerged and gained major followings during this time period.
