The answer is William Lloyd Garrison!

Garrison made a name for himself as one of the most articulate, as well as most radical, opponents of slavery. His approach to emancipation stressed nonviolence and passive resistance, and he attracted a vocal following. While some other abolitionists of the time favored gradual emancipation, Garrison argued for "immediate and complete emancipation of all slaves". On July 4, he publicly burnt a copy of the Constitution condemning it as "pro-slavery".

Garrison and The Liberator were ardently supported by the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, which held meetings, sponsored lectures, and helped to strengthen the female anti-slavery network throughout the Northeast. Garrison was an important contributor to the suffrage movement.

William L. Garrison publicly burned a copy of the Constitution in 1844, declaring it "a Covenant with Death, an Agreement with Hell," referring to the compromise that had written slavery into the Constitution....

who cares?

i'm really tired of acknowledging 'black' anything.  remembering the tragedy that was slavery is okay but holding up an entire race is only holding them to a different standard.  i don't see that those released and thier offspring have ever given some great virtue to society. 

slavery is wrong but the release of the slaves only kicked off 250 years of entitlement mentality, crime, and general degredation of american values.  i honestly wish we could have shipped them back.

racist, maybe.. but not petty hatred.  only a strong personal bias.

the n-word is just another word.  Depends on the way you use it.  Besides, if people use it to describe each other than there should be no foul no harm for all to use it.  Double standards  ::)

If they had shipped them all back, we would have been deprived of the wisdom of Dr. Weiner Gabler's fan, Bay Gabler.
