William lloyd Garisson:

 * __

Details about my life: __** My name is William Lloyd Garrison I was the son of a seamen. I was born in 1805 in Newport. I was an American abolitionist, journalist, and social reformer. When i was 25, I joined the Abolition movement. At the age of 24 I was the ** c **o-editor of the // Genius of Universal Emancipation //. In one article, where I criticised a merchant involved in the slave-trade, resulted in me being imprisoned for libel. I was also the founder and publisher of the anti-slavery newspaper, "The Liberator," In the // Liberator // I not only attacked slave-holders but the "timidity, injustice and absurdity" of the gradualists.

I helped to abolitish the slave trade because i helped educate people about the slave trade via my newspaper, the liberator. In this newspaper I attacked the slave holders and the gradualists. I also founded the New-England anti-slavery society, I co-founded the American anti-slavery society. I was its president (1843-65). And Even though I lived in America I still came to the UK to assist in the anti-slavery movement.
 * What i did to abolish the trade: **

Without me less people would know about the slave trade, slave holders and gradualists would continue to do wrong and would not get what they deserve. Without my strong opinions being expressed and the organizations that I founded, the slave trade of been abolished as fast or perhaps, it could not of been abolished.
