Southerners reacted to William Lloyd Garrison's newspaper, "The Liberator," with outrage and hostility. They viewed it as a direct attack on their way of life and an incitement to rebellion against the institution of slavery. Many Southern leaders condemned Garrison's abolitionist stance, arguing that it threatened social order and economic stability. As a result, "The Liberator" was often met with censorship and was banned in several Southern states.
