I am William Lloyd Garrison journal editor of the “The Liberator”. I live in Boston, Massachusetts where I publish a weekly newspaper dealing with national African American problems. I am a crusader who advocates for “immediate emancipation” for all slaves because I am an American abolitionist. As I stated in my first issue of the liberator, “I am in earnest-I will not equivocate- I will not excuse-I will not retreat a single inch- AND I WILL BE HEARD” (Garrison). To sum up my quote, I am a convicted individual, who will not hide the truth or dismiss behavior, and I will not budge until I am heard.

          My goal with immediate emancipation was to push for freeing all slaves and end racial discrimination and segregation. I believe that the Constitution is pro-slavery in which it was designed in order to keep slaves bounded forever in captivity. Not only were blacks not protected by the Constitution, but according to it, they could never become U.S citizens. I supported Abraham Lincoln as a person for his war policies because I heard rumored speculations of him coming up with something major for African Americans. Although, Lincoln practiced “gradual emancipation” he did not consider himself as an abolitionist even though he was politically attacked about it often. I did not agree with his stance on not considering his self to be an abolitionist. I believe if you are advocating for a particular group that is being discriminated against you must hold your own and push for abolition. That is why I considered Lincoln as an “antislavery prude” he’s an advocate for ending slavery, but fail to take any action against it.

          I joined the American Colonization Society in hopes of promoting blacks’ freedom and well-being, but I quickly left once I found out their objective. Their objective was to minimize the amount of free slaves in the United States and ship them to Africa. I stop supporting that group quickly and I also stop supporting Lincoln for a while due to his compromising and gradualism of freeing all slaves in the United States. I decided I will turn elsewhere in order to get my dream of slaves being freed and treated equally.
