SynopsisWilliam Lloyd Garrison didn't mind the threatening letters. In fact, he expected them. After all, he was the most famous-and outspoken-abolitionist in the United States. In 1831, when Garrison started his antislavery newspaper, most white Americans simply accepted slavery as a fact of life. Whether in the North or South, whites assumed that they would always be free and that blacks-at least of them-would always be slaves. So when Garrison called his fellow white Americans hypocrites and criminals for supporting slavery, he wasn't surprised that some people responded with angry letters. Garrison spent his life fighting against slavery. His dedication made him an outcast in his own city, cost him close friendships, and left him struggling to earn enough to supports his family. But he never gave up, because he always believed that he was right. Before long, he was not alone in the struggle, as he inspired more and more Americans to join one of the greatest social movements in the nation's history. Book jacket.
