The abolitionist movement after 1830 had a greater impact on the nation as a whole than the antislavery movement before 1830. The antislavery movement slowly began to wane, and a drastic new form of opposition to slavery. The abolitionist movement had a greater impact because William Garrison drastically helped create abolitionism, blacks began to become abolitionists expanding the group in numbers, and soon after the movement began the drastic demands made it difficult to overlook. Once the antislavery movement began to wane William Garrison, assistant to an antislavery writer, went to Boston in 1831 and created his own newspaper called the Liberator. The mild philosophy Garrison devised became revolutionary. Garrisons said people should see slavery from the perspective of a black man, not the white man who is a slave owner. He also thought that people should not think about what the image of blacks had on society, but think about the harm it did to blacks. Garrison was the first member of the antislavery movement to publicly declare that blacks needed complete and immediate emancipation. He proposed that they didn't just want to free the blacks, but to free the country and keep only the slaves. The first issue of The Liberator was very intriguing, it demanded to be heard and maybe it's harsh but it's the truth. Garrison's works soon attracted large numbers of people. He managed to found the New England Antislavery Society in 1832 and then the American Antislavery Society in 1833. By 1838 there were approximately 250,000 members of the societies. As abolitionism began to expand, free blacks in the North became interested in the movement. The free blacks of the North lived in conditions far worse than those of slaves... middle of paper... distant slaves. Harriet Beecher Stowe published a book called Uncle Tom's Cabin. It was the most influential document in abolitionist literature. The book showed the emotions of the slaves who were treated cruelly by Uncle Tom. Although abolitionism was divisive, both sides knew the extent of the damage slavery was causing by dividing America. They knew that slavery had to be extinguished. The greatest impact on the nation was certainly the abolitionist movement. The abolitionist movement was broader because William Garrison's idea of ​​starting abolitionism influenced society's view towards slaves, since blacks joined the abolitionist group the number of groups increased and immediately after the start of the movement the cases that took place made it difficult to overlook. Thanks to the abolitionist, the nation saw how deeply it was divided. Works Cited American History 14th Edition Alan Brinkley
