An avid abolitionist, he attempted to change public opinion through meetings, lectures, and membership in the Boston Vigilance Committee, and even used his own house to shelter fugitive slaves. He was active in other reform movements as well, including suffrage.William married Sarah Rhea Higginson (1819-1919) in 1844. He died at his residence at 225 Tappan Street, Brookline, on the 24th of January, 1909; his body was removed to the Mount Auburn Crematory, and he is buried in the cemetery there
Slavery and the Constitution is a classic American political science study by William Ingersoll Bowditch. "Slavery is wrong under all circumstances, because it either darkens the minds, brutalizes the souls, and deadens the affections of the slaves, or, without any necessity, renders such spiritual death not merely possible, but almost inevitable."
