For nearly 150 years, William Lloyd Garrison, founder of the famed
antislavery newspaper The Liberator, has been represented by
scholars, educators, politicians and authors as the founder of the
American abolitionist movement. Yet the idea that Garrison was the
leader of a coherent movement was strongly contested during his
lifetime. Drawing on private letters, diaries, newspapers, novels,
memoirs, eulogies, late 19th century textbooks, poetry and
monuments, this study reveals the dramatic social and political
forces of the postwar period which transformed our perceptions of
Garrison, the abolitionist movement and the first histories of the
Civil War.
