Around 1831, abolitionism took a radical and religious turn, with many abolitionists demanding immediate emancipation rather than gradual reform[9]. William Lloyd Garrison's publication of The Liberator catalyzed this shift, making abolitionism more confrontational and morally absolute[9]. This ideological transformation reshaped the national debate over slavery[9].
