The Liberator was an abolitionist newspaper founded in 1831 by William Lloyd Garrison. Although its paid circulation was only about 3,000, three-quarters of whom were African Americans, it earned nationwide notoriety for its advocacy of "immediate and complete emancipation of all slaves" in the United States.
