Question

What do you think of Garrison’s moral approach to abolition? Does it have a stronger foundation than a political argument against slavery? 2.Garrison described himself as a radical abolitionist. He advocated absolute immediate reversal of slavery. Do you think this was radical compared to, say, Frederick Douglass?

Answer 1

Garrison's moral approach sets evidence to witness the reforms of eradicating the impure condition of moral suasion. Moral Suasion is the term coined by the social thought of Garrison's moral approach towards making new reform movement. It mainly focuses his approach towards abolition to eradicate social evils like drug addiction, gambling, and sexual assault behavior. His approach also mainly focused on abolishing slavery of the minority population dating back to mid of 18th century.

Yes. We can prove that it has a stronger foundation than a political argument against slavery. Religious practice-based thoughts distinctly purified the immoral act of making slavery of all layman people and setting the leaders as God. So the reformers and socialist's ideas gained momentum without seeking the support of political arguments.   

Garrison's thought of slavery has the absolute immediate reversal of slavery and considered as it has more radical in nature when it is compared with the thought of Frederick Douglass. Garrison stated some reason and crucial factors of facts to abolish slavery. While Douglass does not quote any reason, but only insisted to end the evils of slavery which made him to attract towards the nature of Radical movement.
