All On Fire

William Lloyd Garrison And The Abolition Of Slavery

BY HENRY MAYER

Brief Description:
Mayer maintains that William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879), a self-made man of scanty formal education who founded and edited the abolitionist newspaper The Liberator, not only served as the catalyst for the abolition of slavery, but inspired two generations of activists in civil rights and the women's movement. Through Garrison, tragically torn between pacifism and abolitionist advocacy, we also meet a rich pageant of great 19th-century historical figures, including Frederick Douglass, John Quincy Adams and Harriet Beecher Stowe. A consequential biography.
