The Emancipator
Originally founded in 1819 by Elihu Embree, the son of a Quaker minister, as the Manumission Intelligencier, The Emancipator was an abolitionist newspaper in Jonesborough, Tennessee.[1] It was published from April 1820 to October 1820, when publication ceased due to Embree's illness,[1] and then sold to Benjamin Lundy in 1821, when it became The Genius of Universal Emancipation.
The editor was Theodore Dwight Weld.
