What happened to William Lloyd garrison for writing his abolitionist newspaper

He wrote a newspaper about abolition but never took any serious action, so the people who read him and "followed" him eventually got annoyed that he wasn't a "man of action", and pretty much left him behind. Nothing ever "happened" to him, he continued to write on the subject of abolition and anti-slavery and when the Civil War came to a close in 1865, Garrison, at last, saw his dream come to fruition: With the 13th Amendment, slavery was outlawed throughout the United States — in both the North and South.

.Explanation:

In 1830, Garrison broke away from the American Colonization Society and started his own abolitionist paper, calling it The Liberator. As published in its first issue, The Liberator’s motto read, "Our country is the world—our countrymen are mankind." The Liberator was responsible for initially building Garrison’s reputation as an abolitionist.

However, Garrison’s unwillingness to take political action (rather than simply write or speak about the cause of abolition) caused many of his fellow abolitionist supporters to gradually desert the pacifist. Inadvertently, Garrison had created a fracture among members of the American Anti-Slavery Society. By 1840, defectors formed their own rival organization, called the American Foreign and Anti-Slavery Society. Basically, it caused more division amongst the abolitionists.
