• Written 1831
• Written by William Lloyd Garrison
• In the The Liberator, editorial is about the author's resent for slavery, and the disenfranchisement of slaves despite the Declaration's claim for "all men are equal".

Slaves were not allowed to vote, own land, prohibition from reading and writing,
didn't not have say against authority (slave owners).

He feels the exclusion of slaves in American life is not maintained by the Declaration, (says every man has the rights) and thus the practice of slavery should be abolished.
