The first major abolitionist voice in the United States is William Lloyd Garrison who begins publishing The Liberator in 1831. He gathers around him a society of men and women, white and black, who advocate the immediate abolition of slavery in the South. The view of these radical abolitionists contrasts with political abolitionists who believe in working within the system. Central to the abolitionist movement is the idea that people are endowed not just with rights but the capacity to grow to their full humanness. The powerful voice of Frederick Douglass and others bring public attention to the abolitionist cause and incite resentment in the South.
