Ernest Crosby, Garrison the non-resistant, Chapter 2: the Boston mob (search)
me courage enabled him to stigmatize the outrage in his paper according to its deserts, and never for an instant did he alter his tone from any sense of fear. Harriet Martineau, who was visiting America at this time, gives her impressions of Garrison's appearance and manner. It was a countenance glowing with health, and wholly expressive of purity, animation and gentleness. She found sagacity the most striking attribute of his conversation, which was of the most practical cast. The year 1837 showed a marked improvement in New England sentiment. While it is true that the Congregational Church protested against the discussion of certain topics in meeting-houses, and that the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society could not find a suitable hall or church to meet in at Boston and was obliged to organize over a stable, still the legislature went so far as to permit it to make use of the state house. This was a strong indication that the Abolitionists had become a power to reckon with.
