Liberator (newspaper)

The Liberator was an influential abolitionist newspaper founded in 1831 by William Lloyd Garrison in the United States. It aimed to promote the immediate emancipation of enslaved people and advocate for civil rights. The paper featured essays, editorials, and personal stories highlighting the injustices of slavery, helping to galvanize public opinion against the institution. It played a crucial role in the abolitionist movement, giving voice to a growing demand for social justice and equality. The Liberator ceased publication in 1865, shortly after the Civil War ended and slavery was abolished in the U.S.
