Frederick Douglass?

When I was a kid, I think I remember my teachers telling me that in the US in the 1850s, there was a debate among abolitionists about whether they should try to get slavery abolished immediately or gradually. Who were the leaders of each side of that debate?

Lincoln was a gradualist. He feared civil war if the radicals got their way, and he was right. William Lloyd Garrison and Susan B. Anthony were prominent radicals.
