1830 Garrison left from the American Colonization Society and started his own abolitionist paper which he called The Liberator. As published in its first issue the Liberator’s motto read "Our country is the world our countrymen are mankind." The Liberator was responsible for initially building Garrison’s reputation as an abolitionist. In 1832 he helped form the New England Anti-Slavery Society. After taking a short trip to England in 1833 Garrison founded the American Anti-Slavery Society a national organization dedicated to achieving abolition. but Garrison’s not wanting to take political action caused many of his fellow abolitionist supporters to gradually leave the pacifist. Mistakenly Garrison had created a fracture among members of the American Anti-Slavery Society. By 1840 defectors formed their own rival organization called the American Foreign and Anti-Slavery Society.

In 1841 an even greater schism existed among members of the abolitionist movement.
