The Liberator continued for three decades from its founding through the end of the American Civil War. Garrison ended the newspaper's run with a valedictory column at the end of 1865 (the issue of December 29, 1865), when the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery throughout the United States.****** About L.
