Garrison, William Lloyd (1805-1879). The leading anti-slavery crusader of the antebellum period and editor of The Liberator, whose efforts of some 30 years finally were crowned with success with the signing of the 13th Amendment. Autograph Quotation Signed “Wm. Lloyd Garrison,” 1p, 4.75” x 7”. No place, March 14, 1866. Fine condition. The renowned orator and abolitionist writes, in full, “God never made a tyrant or a slave.” The excerpt is taken from the larger verse, “Know this, O man! Whate’er thy earthly fate, God never made a tyrant or a slave; Woe, then, to those who dare to desecrate, His glorious image! for to all He gave, Eternal rights, which none may violate, And by a mighty hand the oppressed he yet shall save!”
