The Liberator
The Liberator (1831-1865) was an abolitionist newspaper founded by William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp. The newspaper called for the "Immediate and complete emancipation of all slaves." The Liberator also advocated for women's rights by printing editorials, petitions, convention calls, speeches, and other material to promote women's equality. The motto was "Our Country is the World, our Countrymen are all Mankind."
Over its 35 year run, Garrison published 1,820 issues, ending in 1865 after the end of the Civil War. This issue was the newspaper's final issue. It includes a poem by a woman identified as Carrie from Brooklyn, New York, entitled "A Farewell to the Liberator." There are also tributes to Garrison and to the paper.

The Emancipator was one of several publications by the American Anti-Slavery Society. First published in May 1833 in New York City, the title of the publication changed several times, as did its editors and publishers. When Joshua Leavitt became the editor in 1840, the Emancipator became a leading abolitionist newspaper. He focused on the political and moral issues related to the abolition of slavery.
In December 1841 the Free American, the official paper of the Massachusetts Abolition Society, merged with the Emancipator and the editors renamed it the Emancipator and Free American.
The Emancipator ran for 18 years and became one of the most widely circulated antislavery newspapers in the country.
