William Lloyd Garrison was the writer of the abolitionist paper, the Liberator. He joined the abolition movement at the age of 25, becoming associated with the American Colonization Society. However, by 1830 he had rejected their beliefs and helped to create the Anti-Slavery Society. Garrison was known as being one of the more radical abolitionists, however his approach still stressed nonviolence and passive resistance.

The goal of the abolitionist movement was the immeidate emancipation of all slaves and the end of racial discrimination and segregation. Beginning in the 1830s, abolitionist ideas became more prominent in Northern churches and politics. In 1833 both blacks and whites met in Philadelphia to found the American Anti-Slavery Society, which worked to flood the North with antislavery literature, agents, and petitions which demanded that Congress end all federal support for slavery. However, the abolitionist activities provoked hostile responses from both the North and the South.

William Lloyd Garrison was the son of a merchant sailor, born in Newburyport, Massachusetts. In a large part due to the Embargo Act, the Garrison family fell into hard times, resulting in his father abandoning their family. Garrison had to work for himself at a young age, and in 1818 after going through multiple apprenticeships he began to work for the Newburyport Herald as a writer and editor. This gave him the skills to later be able to right the Liberator.
