    The influential abolitionist newspaper The Liberator was founded by William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp in 1831. In this first issue, Garrison responded to his critics: "It is pretended, that I am retarding the cause of emancipation by the coarseness of my invective, and the precipitancy of my measures. The charge is not true."
