His method of contesting slavery were non-violence, moral suasion and passive resistance. He was a follower of abolitionist Benjamin Lundy, the editor and founder of the Genius of Universal Emancipation. In 1833, Garrison played an important role in establishing the American Anti-Slavery Society and served as the president of the organization from 1843 to 1865. In 1840, Garrison and his supporters called for the creation of a new government that disallowed slavery from the beginning. Thayer criticizes his idea of splitting the country two lengthwise in his lecture.
