Opponents of abolition authored handbills with titles such as \u201cOutrage,\u201d that encouraged people to obstruct such gatherings wherever they took place. When word reached that British abolitionist George Thompson was going to speak on behalf of the cause in Boston, a mob assembled to look for him. At the meeting, they found Garrison instead who was reviled for his newsletter \u201cThe Liberator,\u201d which published staunch views against slavery. The abolitionist was then dragged through the streets of the city by rope. Garrison was saved from certain death by the mayor who put him in prison for the night for his own protection. <\/p>\n<p>Many newspapers wrote approvingly of the mob\u2019s actions.
