On May 31, 1843, William Lloyd Garrison, the famous abolitionist, proclaimed that slaves are not the property of their masters. He argued that God never made one human being to be owned by another and encouraged slaves to escape from the plantations on which they were confined.

"No Compromise with the Evil of Slavery" is an address delivered in the Broadway Tabernacle, New York, February 14, 1854. Garrison called for an immediate end to slavery and for all citizens to support this cause.

In this 1832 essay, William Lloyd Garrison called on the people of the free states and New England to resist slavery with all their might. He argued that slavery would ultimately destroy the Union if not opposed.

In 1845, William Lloyd Garrison published this essay in his newspaper The Liberator. He stated that the rights of man are inherent and undeniable and called for Northern secession from the Union: "By the dissolution of the Union we shall give the finishing blow to the slave system.”
