11 How did the two great abolitionists, former slave Frederick Douglass and northern white businessman William Lloyd Garrison, differ in their strategy for ending slavery?.Douglass believed that the North should break away from the slaveholding South; Garrison did not.Garrison renounced political remedies; Douglass embraced them.Garrison sought the violent overthrow of slavery; Douglass did not.Douglass made incendiary speeches; Garrison appealed more to reason, principles, and integrity.Douglass was prone to theatrics; Garrison was known for his impassioned speeches. 14 The main reason that much of the North did NOT initially embrace abolitionism or support it until the 1850's was that.the northern economy was tightly bound to that of the South.most northerners disliked the lecturing, protests, and other tactics employed by abolitionists.northerner were not yet sure whether slave or paid labor would drive industrialization.territorial expansion had not yet become a major concern for the north.northerners considered slavery a matter for the states to decide.
