In the first issue of the liberator, william lloyd garrison wrote: "i am in earnest – i will not equivocate – i will not excuse – i will not retreat a single inch – and i will be heard." describe how this reflects the time period in which he was writing. your answer should be at least 150 words. see below for the full excerpt. i am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? i will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. on this subject i do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. no! no! tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen—but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. i am in earnest—i will not equivocate—i will not excuse—i will not retreat a single inch—and i will be heard. the apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead.
