Why was William Lloyd Garrison imprisoned?
In 1829, the ever controversial William Lloyd Garrison wrote a story accusing Francis Todd of mistreating slaves on his ship (Todd was a slave trader/shipper) in Lundy's Genius of Universal Emancipation. He was found for libel and spent 49 days in jail because he wouldn't apologize.
Another source reports that his time in jail was due to the fact he could not post bail.
Garrison is famous for founding the American Anti-Slavery Society.
John Brown kept no party affiliation for decades and was not a supporter of any political party throughout his public career as an abolitionist. Brown was a big supporter of John Quincy Adams, who was an abolitionist, and whose administration also appointed Brown as postmaster in Randolph Township, near Meadville, Pa., in the 1820s. But thereafter Brown never supported any candidate or party that I am aware of, and I doubt he would have supported Abraham Lincoln, who was elected in 1860 because he was actually a moderate in his attitude toward dealing with slavery. Brown would have had no patience with someone willing to limit slavery's expansion but not willing to abolish it. According to journalist William A. Phillips, in early 1859, Brown told him that he believed that the South would secede from the Union if a Republican was elected in the next presidential election. Seems Old Brown was correct.
