Yes, William Lloyd Garrison was a prominent abolitionist who advocated for the rights of African Americans and supported their enlistment in the Union Army during the Civil War. While he did not directly recruit soldiers, his work through the anti-slavery movement helped to raise awareness and support for the inclusion of Black soldiers in the military effort against the Confederacy. Garrison's efforts contributed to the broader acceptance of Black men serving in the Union Army, notably leading to the establishment of regiments like the United States Colored Troops.
