The image below provides a close-up view of a portion of the third column of the antislavery broadside. 
This image has been
added to not only provide the viewer with access to the type face used with the
document, but also to communicate the power of Elijah Lovejoy's appeal to the
antislavery community. He not only denounces the evils of slavery, but firmly stands on
the rights of freedom of the press and freedom of discussion established by the
Constitution of the United States. Therefore, Lovejoy's own words best express his
commitment to some of the most basic freedoms that Americans now enjoy.
