Which abolitionist publication did William Lloyd Garrison publish?

• A. The Liberator
• B. The North Star
• C. The Emancipator
• D. The Journal of Reform

Answer: (A)

William Lloyd Garrison published a newspaper that became the loudest, most influential voice for immediate abolition: The Liberator. He launched it in 1831 to push for the end of slavery right away, not gradually, and to demand full rights for Black Americans. The Liberator used strong, unwavering moral arguments to convince readers that slavery was a grave injustice and that action was required now. Its regular, nationwide circulation helped organize supporters, shape abolitionist arguments, and keep the issue in the public eye.

The North Star was Frederick Douglass’s publication, started later in the 1840s, sharing the abolitionist goal but presenting Douglass’s own experiences and thoughts. The Emancipator was another abolitionist paper of the era connected to the broader movement, not the publication started by Garrison. The Journal of Reform is not associated with Garrison’s abolitionist press.
