Douglass' disputes with some of the women' s rights leaders went beyond the question of their appearance before segregated audiences.
Women like Stanton and Anthony were close to abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. When Douglass split with Garrison over the latter's
reliance on words and "moral suasion" as the major route to abolition, as well as over Garrison's opposition to antislavery political action,
some women's fights leaders grew cool toward Douglass. Although Susan B. Anthony had sided with Garrison, she solicited Douglass'
support in her campaign against capital punishment. She circulated a petition for a meeting in 1858 to protest an impending execution and
to support a law making life imprisonment the punishment for capital crimes. Long an opponent of capital punishment, Douglass signed the
petition, prepared a set of resolutions on the issue, and agreed to take over for the scheduled chair, who had been intimidated by mob
violence. Douglass' conduct won over even those women who had allied themselves with Anthony and Garrison.
