developments? Discuss briefly.

 

Answer 1

William was a prominent American journalist, social reformer, abolitionist, and suffragist. He initially played a significant role in abolishing slavery. He published the book, The Liberator after defecting from the American Colonization Society, which acted as the basis for his popularity in the world. William wrote and published the newspaper in 1831, Boston, and it remained relevant until slavery was abolished in the United States via the constitutional amendment of 1865. He championed the formation of the American Anti-Slavery Society, which helped him remain relevant in American politics.

In 1841, he argued that the enslaved states and the Free states should be formed separately. The idea backfired in 1854 after the abolitionists and slavery supporters rushed to Kansas and voted in favor of slavery. In 1861, the American civil war broke out, and Garrison still criticized the US constitution. In 1865, the citizens came to an end, and slavery was outlawed in the North and South, and this was a remarkable success for William.
