Garrison was a person who held the so-called free man's land in high esteem, but it really wasn't according to him. America was supposed to be the land of freedom and equal opportunity, but it was far from that as slavery kept African Americans in bondage. In my essay I will reveal how this free African American made a change in the life of a slave, fighting for his own freedom and also for the rights of free African Americans. I will address Garrison's views on how he viewed the abolition movement, gradual emancipation, colonization, and violence. Garrison believed that the abolition of slavery should be immediate without the pressure and bloodshed of innocent lives that had already suffered enough. He declared it a sin and thought slavery was contrary to the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the moral humanity of mankind. He also thought that slavery was immoral in nature and that there should ultimately be no compromise. He was also implacable in his belief in human equality and felt that slavery was also evil. Garrison also believed that white and African American slaves could not be distinguished in the eyes of the gods, so it should be the same in the laws of the land. He also challenged the establishment in the North and the antislavery movement in the South, he did so because neither party had racial equality as its primary goal. Slavery should have been abolished immediately. Emancipated African Americans were supposed to receive instructions on how to integrate into the American social order. Garrison's view on colonization was that the American colonization society was in favor of the Negro movement. The majority of whites argued that they wanted to free everything... half the paper... condemning it as imperfect. Ultimately, Garrison used the Liberator as a platform for his relentless push in the South for a change in its value system and viewed the region as a target. He saw the North as a region that was not committed to completely changing the system of slavery, but he knew he was in a unique position to be heard. Garrison, being resolute and holding to the principle of immediate emancipation, could well have been the spark that ignited a revolt to end slavery and inequality. Ideals and principles are not always held in such high regard, but Garrison's ability to use them and not stray from those attributes even in the face of death and being on an island made him special to a cause seeking a leader and scapegoat for a group looking for someone to blame for the sense of rebellion of those they oppressed.
