The National Anti-Slavery Standard was the official weekly newspaper of the American Anti-Slavery Society, an abolitionist society founded in 1833 by William Lloyd Garrison and Arthur Tappan. Lydia and David Child, abolitionists and writers, established the newspaper in 1840. The Standard advocated for the rights of slaves throughout the country, as well as suffrage for women.

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.
