    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
The Emancipator ran for 18 years and became one of the most widely circulated antislavery newspapers in the country.]]></dcterms:description>
