Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Papers Relating to the Garrison Mob Hardly a night passes in any of our large cities without greater violence done to person and to property than occurred in the so-called "Garrison mob." Although its results scarcely entitle it to the name of a riot, it has more historical importance than can be claimed by some battles. This wretched street fight was indeed the first muttering of that awful storm which was to burst over this country a quarter of a century later. In October of 1835 there had come to Boston Mr. George Thompson, a Scotchman, who proposed to speak publicly in favor of the abolition of negro slavery. This was a discussion which few people then heard patiently, especially from the lips of a foreigner; and a considerable excitement followed. There was to be a meeting of the Female Anti-slavery Society, and the Mayor, Theodore Lyman, Jr., sent a message to Mr. Garrison, editor of an anti-slavery paper called the Liberator, to ask if Thompson would then speak; because, in such a case, it would be necessary to provide additional police.
