William Lloyd Garrison was a prominent American abolitionist, journalist, and social reformer who founded the anti-slavery newspaper The Liberator in 1831 and advocated for immediate, uncompensated emancipation of enslaved people.
William Lloyd Garrison (1805–1879) was a leading abolitionist who founded *The Liberator* in Boston in 1831, publishing it until slavery was abolished by Constitutional amendment in 1865[4]. He was one of the founders of the American Anti-Slavery Society and promoted immediate and uncompensated emancipation, rejecting gradual approaches[4]. His widely-read newspaper and relentless activism helped build national momentum against slavery and shaped the moral discourse of the pre-Civil War era.
