This passage from William Lloyd Garrison reflects the era when the United States was going through an abolitionist moment.

Explanation:

William Lloyd Garrison was a prominent abolitionist, journalist and social reformer of the United States. He is best known for being the editor of the radical abolitionist newspaper The Liberator, and one of the founders of the American Antislavery Society.

In 1831, Garrison returned to New England to found a weekly anti-slavery newspaper on his own, The Liberator. As a result of his articles, a thirty-year war that would end with the suppression of justified racial segregation would begin.

Liberator's initial circulation was relatively limited - there were fewer than 400 subscribers during its second year. However, the publication gained more subscribers and influence over the next three decades, until the end of the Civil War and the final national abolition of slavery proclaimed by the thirteenth amendment to the United States Constitution. Garrison would publish the last article (number 1820) on December 29, 1865, writing in his column "Valedictory".
