Seems that William Lloyd Garrison forgot to check with the Boss in New York. Business is business, after all.

Although I'm sure Garrison would have gone along, had Lincoln or Stanton whispered in his ear how many Southern cities, plantations, and farms they intended to burn to the ground or confiscate for "taxes due".

Just for added context, Garrison burned a copy of the Constitution in public.
