William Lloyd Garrison was the founder of the American Abolition Society. He published an abolitionist newspaper called the Liberator from 1833 through the end of the Civiil War. He disagreed with some other abolitionist because he wanted a total and immediate end to slavery. Others saw wisdom in attempting to stop the spread and allowing it to die out.

Reverend Elijah Lovejoy was a Presbyterian minister who moved to Missouri an started a newspaper. His editorials were abolitionist. In a slave state like Missouri, this was not a simple thing. He faced persecution and was forced to move across the Mississippi to Illinois, a free state. The problems continued. He was killed by a mob in 1837. His death got a lot of attention in the North and helped fuel the abolitionist movement.

Fredrick Douglas was born a slave in Maryland. He taught himself to read and escaped as an adult. His autobiography detail some of the horrific conditions of slavery. Many people in the North had no idea how bad things were. Remember, no internet or TV.
Douglas wrote articles and spoke to groups of abolitionists and others in the North. He was an advisor to Lincoln. He was instrumental in the effort to form black regiments in the US Army, like the Massachusetts 54th. (The 54th is the unit in Glory) He was a member of the Republican party and worked to better lives of former slaves after the war.
He parted ways with Garrison in the 1850s. He could see that Garrison's views sometimes worked against the cause because he was so strident. Douglas hated slavery to be sure. But he worked for change more than just getting people angry.
