William Lloyd Garrison
Lloyd Henry Garrison was a prominent abolitionist who promoted the idea of immediate emancipation of all enslaved individuals in the United States. He founded the anti-slavery newspaper "The Liberator" in 1831, advocating for the end of slavery without compensation to slave owners. Garrison believed in the moral imperative to abolish slavery and was a staunch supporter of civil rights for African Americans, arguing that the institution of slavery was a profound injustice. His radical views and uncompromising stance significantly influenced the abolitionist movement.
The slave owners.
Frederick Douglass faced numerous enemies in his fight against slavery and for civil rights, primarily among pro-slavery advocates and Southern plantation owners who opposed abolition. He also encountered resistance from some Northern Democrats and individuals who feared the social implications of emancipation. Additionally, certain factions within the abolitionist movement were critical of his methods or beliefs, making him a controversial figure even among his allies. Despite this opposition, Douglass's eloquence and determination helped to galvanize support for the abolitionist cause.

William Lloyd Garrison
Southern slave owners feared that Northern attitudes toward slavery, which were increasingly abolitionist, would threaten their economic and social system based on slave labor. They worried that Northern efforts to limit the expansion of slavery into new territories would eventually lead to its abolition in the South. This fear stemmed from the understanding that Northern abolitionist sentiment posed a direct challenge to the institution of slavery that was foundational to the Southern way of life.
Individuals in the antebellum South, particularly slave owners, plantation owners, and advocates of states' rights and white supremacy, would most likely have a pro-slavery point of view. They believed in the economic benefits of slavery, the preservation of their way of life, and the superiority of the white race.

People who believed that slavery should be banned outright. They didn't like Lincoln allowing the Border States to continue slavery, because he didn't want to upset powerful slave-owners and drive them into the arms of the Confederacy.

When slavery was abolished, slaves were released from their owners, making them "free".
An abolitionist was a person who wanted to "abolish" slavery, eliminating it from society. They were more numerous in the North before the US Civil War (1861-1865), but still constituted a small, vocal minority. Some, such as John Brown, tried to force the freedom of slaves by armed action. He and his supporters killed some slave owners and later attacked the Federal armory at Harper's Ferry on October 16, 1859. His plan to arm and lead a slave revolt failed, and Brown was tried and hanged.
