Genius of Universal Emancipation


The Genius of Universal Emancipation was an abolitionist newspaper from Baltimore, Maryland run by Benjamin Lundy. Elihu Embree established the "Manumission Intelligencier" in 1819 which became "The Emancipator" in 1820. In 1821 the paper was bought by Benjamin Lundy and renamed "Genius of Universal Emancipation", running from 1821 to 1839 under Lundy's editorship. Lundy's contributions reflected his Quaker views, condemning slavery on moral and religious grounds but advocating gradual emancipation and the removal of Negroes from the United States. Lundy moved the paper to Jonesboro

. 1), and continued publishing it to October 1820. The discontinuance was due to his illness. Embree sold the newspaper in 1821 to Benjamin Lundy (1789–1839), who changed the name to "The Genius of Universal Emancipation." The second publication, "The Emancipator," was founded in 1833 in New York by Arthur Tappan (1786–1865), a wealthy abolitionist. Both "Emancipators" were exponents of anti-slavery. In 1833, African American agents selected to represent the publication included: David Ruggles,

Embree's untimely death in 1820 effectively ended publication of "The Emancipator", several of Embree's supporters turned to Ohio abolitionist Benjamin Lundy, who had started publication of his own antislavery newspaper, "The Genius of Universal Emancipation", in 1821. Anticipating that a southern-based abolitionist movement would be more effective, Lundy purchased Embree's printing press and moved to Greeneville in 1822. Lundy remained in Greeneville for two years before moving to Baltimore. He would later prove influential in the career of William Lloyd Garrison, whom

shared Lundy's gradualist views, but, while working for the "Genius", he became convinced of the need to demand immediate and complete emancipation. Lundy and Garrison continued to work together on the paper in spite of their differing views, agreeing simply to sign their editorials to indicate who had written it. One of the regular features that Garrison introduced during his time at the "Genius" was "the Black List," a column devoted to printing short reports of "the barbarities of slavery—kidnappings, whippings,

It was home in 1820 to abolitionist Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839), where he established the influential antislavery newspaper "The Genius of Universal Emancipation", one of the first antislavery publications in the United States. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in May 1974, and included in the Mount Pleasant Historic District later the same year.

Notable supporters included Presbyterian clergyman Samuel Doak, Tusculum College cofounder Hezekiah Balch, and Maryville College president Isaac Anderson. In 1820, Elihu Embree established "The Emancipator"— the nation's first exclusively abolitionist newspaper— in Jonesborough. After Embree's death, Benjamin Lundy established the "Genius of Universal Emancipation" in Greeneville in 1821 to continue Embree's work. By the 1830s, however, the region's abolitionist movement had declined in the face of fierce opposition.

In 1829, Lundy recruited the young William Lloyd Garrison to join him in Baltimore, Maryland and help him edit the paper.
