William Lloyd Garrison's The Liberator

The document contains the first excerpt from William Lloyd Garrison’s the liberator. Most of the issues of the Liberator contain strong messages on the immediate abolition of slavery. In this issue, Garrison has alienated and outraged contemporaries on the issue of gradual emancipation. In this excerpt, Garrison has asserted that men have been created equality before the eyes of God and no one should be denied of these fundamental rights that are liberty, equality life and even the pursuit for happiness. The doctrine of gradual abolition provides opportunities for all men to be equal so as to enhance justice and equality. In this issue, Garrison calls for all men to be provided with their natural rights by abandoning the practice of slavery.
