William Shreve Bailey (c. 1806–1886) was an American mechanic and printer born in Centerville, Ohio and who moved to Newport, Kentucky, notable for his abolitionist publications, and who received widespread support from the abolitionist movement when financially strained due effects of his work. Abolitionist Bailey was by trade a cotton machinist and steam engine builder and had established a machine shop in Newport. His religious disposition led him to abolitionism, and he contributed articles to the ''Newport News'' before buying the publication at the urging of its current owner, who felt himself unable to cope with harassment arising out of printing an abolitionist message in a slave-owning state. Bailey published a number of other newspapers, including the ''Kentucky Weekly News'' (1851–1858) and '' The Free South'' (1858–1866). His printing presses were destroyed by pro-slavers on two occasions, in 1851 and 1859. He received financial support from anti-slavery campai ...

Abolitionism
Abolitionism, or the abolitionist movement, is the movement to end slavery. In Western Europe and the Americas, abolitionism was a historic movement that sought to end the Atlantic slave trade and liberate the enslaved people. The British abolitionist movement started in the late 18th century when English and American Quakers began to question the morality of slavery. James Oglethorpe was among the first to articulate the Enlightenment case against slavery, banning it in the Province of Georgia on humanitarian grounds, and arguing against it in Parliament, and eventually encouraging his friends Granville Sharp and Hannah More to vigorously pursue the cause. Soon after Oglethorpe's death in 1785, Sharp and More united with William Wilberforce and others in forming the Clapham Sect.
