AI notes: The Liberator was a prominent anti-slavery newspaper founded by William Lloyd Garrison in Boston on January 1, 1831. It became one of the most influential voices in the American abolitionist movement, known for its uncompromising stance against slavery and its calls for immediate emancipation. Garrison used the paper to advocate for racial equality, women's rights, and nonviolence. Though it faced hostility, threats, and even suppression in the South, The Liberator continued publication for 35 years, ceasing only after the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865. Its legacy endures as a powerful force in the fight against slavery and for human rights.
