From 1831 until 1865, an abolitionist newspaper named The Liberator was produced by William Lloyd Garrison and Isaac Knapp. The newspaper advocated the emancipation of all slaves in the United States. Imagine that Garrison and Knapp asked you to help prepare a special edition of the newspaper commemorating the Abolitionist Movement. Using your knowledge of the Abolitionist Movement, exercise your right as a responsible citizen in support of equality in the United States, and create an article that gives a brief history of the movement, profiles any important people, and explains the main ideas expressed by abolitionists.

The items that you will need to incorporate in your article include:

• A headline that is descriptive of your article;
• A date when the article is to be published; and
• Any drawings pictures, maps, supporting graphics, or ads appropriate to the time.
