The Liberator

The Liberator was an Boston-based 19th century abolitionist newspaper edited (and co-founded) by William Lloyd Garrison.

Publication History

The Liberator began in 1831, and ran until the end of slavery in the US in 1865. Some of those involved in the newspaper went on to found The Nation, a magazine that still runs today.
