The Liberator relaunched abolitionism around immediate abolition rather than gradualism
Evidence
Garrison had a different option in mind when he settled back in Boston: immediate abolition and gradual equality. On Saturday, January 1, 1831, he published the first issue of The Liberator, the organ that relaunched an abolitionist movement among White Americans. In his first editorial manifesto, “To the Public,” Garrison made a “full and unequivocal” recant of the “popular but pernicious doctrine of gradual abolition.” — Ibram X.
