I assume that you are asking this question about US
history. In that case, The Liberator was the name of an
abolitionist newspaper that was started by William Lloyd Garrison (a famous
abolitionist) in 1831.
Garrison was a believer in immediate
and uncompensated abolition of slavery. He did not agree with the idea of paying
slaveowners for their slaves and he did not agree with the idea of sending the freeds
slaves to Africa to live.
In order to disseminate his
views, Garrison created The Liberator. This was a major step in
making the views of the abolitionist community more widely known in the
US.
