Which abolitionist newspaper was edited by William Lloyd Garrison?

• A. The Liberator
• B. The North Star
• C. The Emancipator
• D. The Liberator Express

Answer: (A)

William Lloyd Garrison edited The Liberator. He launched this Boston-based weekly in 1831 to advocate immediate emancipation and equal rights for Black Americans, making it the flagship publication of his abolitionist stance. The Liberator became a powerful voice in the movement, known for its uncompromising critique of slavery and its call for moral and political action. By contrast, The North Star was Frederick Douglass’s abolitionist newspaper started later, and The Emancipator was published by different abolitionist circles; The Liberator Express isn’t a known historical publication. So, The Liberator is the correct one.
