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.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the events of the Boston Garrison Mob of 1835, a suppression of free speech in reaction to the growing abolition movement. The rising tension between pro-abolitionists and their opposition led to a riot when a prominent antislavery speaker was scheduled to speak in the city. The author presents multiple accounts from various viewpoints, including the mayor of Boston, who ordered the arrest of the speaker and dispersed the crowd with force. The author includes detailed personal accounts of the escalating violence, with themes of political oppression, mob mentality, and the fight for freedom of speech echoing throughout. The book provides a nuanced look at a pivotal event in American history, revealing the deep divisions within society over the issue of slavery and the ongoing struggle for civil rights.
