South to north
Years of simmering hostility broke out into open combat in Charleston, South Carolina, when Confederate artillery fired at the Union garrison on the harbour-island of Fort Sumter. This provoked Lincoln into calling for 75,000 volunteer troops, and the war was officially on.

William Lloyd Garrison
urged immediate emancipation of slaves in the United States.
He advocated burning the constitution because it allowed slavery. He wanted to free all slaves with no compensation to their owners which called for a war on the South.
William Lloyd Garrison was the author of the Liberator. Before and During the Civil War he was a highly active abolitionist who strongly supported the freeing of slaves, he met and supported both John Brown and Fredrick Douglass. After the Civil War he went on to fight for other big disputes like Women's rights. Garrison was an advocate of nonviolence resistance. There is no evidence that he supported the murderous John Brown. In fact, Frederick Douglas did not support John Brown either.
"The Liberator," founded by William Lloyd Garrison, is the best example of how growing sectional differences between the North and South were expressed in the literature of the antebellum period. It was known for its strong moral appeal against slavery and sparked debates that highlighted the divide between the two regions. Garrison's uncompromising stance on immediate emancipation made "The Liberator" a radical voice in the growing tensions leading up to the Civil War.
Many abolitionists, such as Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison, were strongly opposed to the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 due to its reinforcement of slavery and violation of human rights. The law mandated the return of escaped slaves to their owners, exacerbating tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery.
