| Summary | "No Compromise with Slavery" by William Lloyd Garrison is a powerful anti-slavery address delivered in the early to mid-19th century. Garrison, a prominent abolitionist, uses this speech to articulate the moral imperative of opposing slavery in all its forms, arguing that any compromise with the institution is morally unacceptable. The book is a historical account that captures the fervent spirit of the abolition movement and serves as an impassioned call to action against the brutality of slavery in America. In this address, Garrison passionately defends the absolute necessity of abolition, condemning those who would justify or compromise on the issue of slavery. He presents a series of arguments against the moral and legal justifications for the existence of slavery, emphasizing that every enslaved person is a victim of theft and that no human being should be regarded as property. Garrison appeals to the religious and ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence, asserting that true liberty cannot coexist with the institution of slavery. Ultimately, he insists on the need for immediate and unconditional emancipation, leaving no room for negotiation or compromise in the fight for justice and human rights.
