He had another
    motto, which was emblazoned across the crest of the front page of his newspaper, The
    Liberator: "That which is not just is not law".  At the time he started
    publishing he meant to suggest that it was a moral imperative that Christians and Americans
    should disobey unjust laws, such as the Fugitive Slave Act, which required that northerners
    report and turn in runaway slaves whenever they saw them, essentially deputizing the entire
    North.  Garrsion felt there was no democratic or Christian way in which he could or should be
    required to do so, and advocated breaking that law, among others.
