Origins[]
William Lloyd Garrison was a northern abolitionist whose newspaper, The Liberator, demanded immediate freedom for slaves. He was a staunch New England supporter of abolitionism, harshly criticizing slavery and later becoming a women’s rights’ activist.
The moment he is best remembered for is when he publicly burned a copy of the American Constitution, condemning it for allowing slavery.
Effects[]
Allows for the creation of fire from the palms, but causes complete distrust towards those who make compromise with ‘evil’, in the user’s eyes.
The composing stick was laid many times upon Garrison’s copy of the Constitution, up until its burning. It appears that some of its effects, even after the burning, rubbed off onto the composing stick to give similar effects.
