Garnet, Henry Highland

born 1815, New Market, Md., U.S.
died Feb. 13, 1882, Liberia

U.S. clergyman and abolitionist.

Born a slave, he escaped in 1824 to New York, where he became a Presbyterian minister. He joined the American Anti-Slavery Society and agitated for emancipation; in a 1843 speech at a national convention of freedmen he called on slaves to revolt and murder their masters. The convention refused to endorse his radicalism, and he gradually turned more toward religion, serving as pastor in a number of Presbyterian pulpits during the next two decades. Late in life he favoured emigration of U.S. blacks to Africa. He was appointed U.S. minister to Liberia in 1881 but died within two months of his arrival in the African nation.

▪ American abolitionist and clergyman
born 1815, New Market, Maryland, U.S.
died February 13, 1882, Liberia
 leading African American abolitionist and clergyman.

      Born a slave, Garnet escaped in 1824 and made his way to New York. There he pursued an education and eventually became a Presbyterian minister. Garnet became associated with the American Anti-Slavery Society, and his career in the late 1830s and early '40s joined preaching with agitation for emancipation. A nationally known figure, he shocked his listeners at the 1843 national convention of free people of colour when he called upon slaves to murder their masters. The convention refused to endorse Garnet's radicalism, and he gradually turned more to religion as Frederick Douglass (Douglass, Frederick) assumed the role of premier black abolitionist.

      During the next two decades, Garnet served as pastor in a number of Presbyterian pulpits. While at his post in Washington, D.C., in 1864, he aided the war-related displaced and distressed. Later, he assisted government workers in developing programs to help former slaves.

      In 1881 Garnet was appointed minister to Liberia. In his younger, more radical days, he had vigorously opposed plans to solve America's slavery problem by sending blacks back to Africa. Toward the end of his life, however, he favoured U.S. blacks' emigration back to Africa. Within two months of his arrival in the African nation, though, he died.
