William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879) was a journalist who helped to lead the successful campaign against slavery in the United States. In 1830, he started an abolitionist paper, The Liberator; its first issue carried the author's editorial, "To the Public", in which he contended for the immediate enfranchisement of the slave population. "No Compromise with the Evil of Slavery" is an address delivered in the Broadway Tabernacle, New York, in 1854 where he called for an immediate end to slavery. In "Address to the Colonization Society", Garrison advocated the destruction of the “vampire of slavery”. "The American Union" was a call to the people of the free states and New England to resist slavery with all their might. "Truisms" consists of a list of hypocritical ideas about slavery, exposing its immorality. In "Dred Scott and Disunion" Garrison protests against the Dred Scott decision, against the infamous Fugitive Slave Law and against all injustice, reiterating the truths of the Declaration of Independence, and calling for its practical enforcement throughout the land.
