CDV of William Lloyd Garrison, an American abolitionist with Anthony Backmark.

A carte de visite (CDV) of William Lloyd Garrison, an American abolitionist with Anthony Backmark. 
Garrison was a leader in the abolitionist movement in the United States. He was the editor of the anti-slavery newspaper The Liberator, which he published weekly for 35 years. Garrison's beliefs included: 
 
An immediate end to slavery without compensation 
 
Political and social equality for Black people 
 
Peaceful moral suasion to influence people's behavior 
 
The U.S. Constitution was a pro-slavery document 
 
Women should be allowed to participate in the Anti-Slavery Society 
 
Garrison's views differed from those of other statesmen, such as Abraham Lincoln, who wanted to preserve the Union and Constitution while ending slavery. Garrison died on May 24, 1879 and is buried in Boston's Forest Hills Cemetery.
