The 1830s were the heyday of the formation of anti-slavery societies, with associations established at town, county and state levels. This is a partial report about the formation of the Franklin County, Massachusetts, Anti-Slavery Society, which was established on December 8, 1836. The society was to be an auxiliary to the state anti-slavery society and aimed to abolish slavery through constitutional means and to combat public prejudice against African-Americans. The Greenfield Gazette and Franklin Herald was the newspaper in Greenfield, Massachusetts, from June 26, 1827, to June 27, 1837. It changed its name to the Gazette & Mercury.
