Slavery, Race, and the Making of American Literature - William Lloyd Garrison

William Lloyd Garrison is trying to make people see something about the slaves.  That thing is that slaves are real people, too.  I believe he's not just talking about the ones still enslaved, he's also talking about the ones who have been freed.  He wants people to give full equality to African Americans/blacks/slaves not because it's the right thing to do, but because it's what they would want if they were in the same situation.  He wants them to see them for who they are... people.
