"Arthur Tappan, organizer of the New York Anti-Slavery Society, founded his Emancipator in 1833; Joshua Leavitt, whose Congregational newspaper, the Evangelist, had been an advocate of abolition, was its editor in 1837, and afterward moved it to Boston" [Mott]. The newspaper weighed in on all the exciting issues of the day relating to slavery: treatment of slaves; condition of Free Negroes; collaboration of religious institutions with slavery; development of organizations to combat slavery; colonization; the West Indies; the murder of Reverend Lovejoy and the destruction of his press at Alton; and a host of other issues.
