Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass (1817? - 1895) Frederick Douglass was the son of a Negro slave and white slaveholder. Despite being born into slavery, Douglass taught himself secretly to read and write which was a serious crime in itself in the antebellum South. He was actively involved in improving the lives of his fellow men. He organized a minor revolt against his masters and survived unlike Nat Turner who was not as lucky as Douglass. His book, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass , which was published in 1845 recounts the harsh life in the pre-Civil War plantations in which he lived and worked before escaping to New York. He describes the senseless cruelty of masters and the debased lives of slaves. His contribution to the emancipation cause included recruiting Negro volunteers during the Civil War. He was also instrumental in safeguarding and preserving the right of his freed fellow men. Douglass later worked as a secretary of the Santo Domingo Commission, Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia and United States Minister to Haiti.

Famous Person: Frederick Douglass Related Topics: Slavery Abolitionist Freedom Civil Rights Underground Railroad Grade Level: Author: Kimberly Forman Background References Objectives Time Allotment ... Assessment Background: Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born in Tuckahoe, Maryland. Like most other slaves, Frederick knew little about his birthday or his age. He had never seen any record of his birth. Between what his grandmother and other slaves had told him, he figured he was born between 1817 and 1818. Frederick's mother was Harriet Bailey and it was rumored that his father was a white man, whom he never even met. He was separated from his mother at a very young age and saw her no more than four or five times throughout his lifetime. He was often told that his master was his father, but his master did not treat any differently than any other slave. Frederick grew up being exposed to the harsh realities of slave life. He witnessed the monthly allowance of food and yearly clothing supplies. Men and women were given eight pounds of pork or fish and one bushel of cornmeal each month. Two coarse linen shirts, one pair of linen trousers, one pair of stockings, and one pair of shoes were given to the slaves on a yearly basis. The slave children's allowance was given to their mothers and only consisted of little food and two linen shirts. Slave life was cruel and demeaning. Slaves had no beds and were rarely given blankets for warmth. Many slaves suffered from hunger and cold. Frederick was put out to work at young age. Because he was too little to do field work, he was put to work helping around the house. He had to drive up the cows in the evening and keep the fowls out of the garden. He was also put in charge of keeping the front yard clean and running errands for the master's daughter.

A statement in its simplicity validates the scathing reality of slavery. Douglass was the youngest of four children born to Harriet Bailey, a slave, and a white father who was never known to him. His fervent desire to educate himself, and other slaves kept young Douglass in constant trouble with his slave-master. Often he was sent away to prevent the furtherance of slave education. He escaped to freedom by the age of 20. In 1845 he started the first of his three part autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, Written by Himself, which was published by the Anti-Slavery Office in Boston. It sold 4,500 copies. My Bondage and My Freedom, and Life and Times of Frederick Douglass completed the autobiography. A writing accomplishment that is unprecedented. Married twice, Frederick Douglass, was outspoken against slavery. His eloquent speaking ability, deep melodious voice, and dramatic flair made him a major draw world-wide at abolitionist meetings. He died in 1895.

Before him sat abolitionists who had travelled to the Massachusetts island of Nantucket. Only 23 years old at the time, Douglass overcame his nervousness and gave a stirring, eloquent speech about his life as a slave. Douglass would continue to give speeches for the rest of his life and would become a leading spokesperson for the abolition of slavery and for racial equality. The son of a slave woman and an unknown white man, "Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey" was born in February of 1818 on Maryland's eastern shore. He spent his early years with his grandparents and with an aunt, seeing his mother only four or five times before her death when he was seven. (All Douglass knew of his father was that he was white.) During this time he was exposed to the degradations of slavery, witnessing firsthand brutal whippings and spending much time cold and hungry. When he was eight he was sent to Baltimore to live with a ship carpenter named Hugh Auld. There he learned to read and first heard the words abolition and abolitionists. "Going to live at Baltimore," Douglass would later say, "laid the foundation, and opened the gateway, to all my subsequent prosperity."

The Life of Frederick Douglass [Chronology] Frederick Douglass was born into slavery on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in 1818, and was given the name Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey (Baly), after his mother Harriet Bailey. During the course of his remarkable life he escaped from slavery, became internationally renowned for his eloquence in the cause of liberty, and went on to serve the national government in several official capacities. Through his work he came into contact with many of the leaders of his times. His early work in the cause of freedom brought him into contact with a wide array of abolitionists and social reformers, including William Lloyd Garrison, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, John Brown, Gerrit Smith and many others. As a major Stationmaster on the Underground Railroad he directly helped hundreds on their way to freedom through his adopted home city of Rochester, NY. Renowned for his eloquence, he lectured throughout the US and England on the brutality and immorality of slavery. As a publisher his North Star and Frederick Douglass' Paper brought news of the anti-slavery movement to thousands. Forced to leave the country to avoid arrest after John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, he returned to become a staunch advocate of the Union cause. He helped recruit African American troops for the Union Army, and his personal relationship with Lincoln helped persuade the President to make emancipation a cause of the Civil War. Two of Douglass' sons served in the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, which was made up entirely of African American volunteers. The storming of Fort Wagner by this regiment was dramatically portrayed in the film

A Short Biography of Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass was born in a slave cabin, in February, 1818, near the town of Easton, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Separated from his mother when only a few weeks old he was raised by his grandparents. At about the age of six, his grandmother took him to the plantation of his master and left him there. Not being told by her that she was going to leave him, Douglass never recovered from the betrayal of the abandonment. When he was about eight he was sent to Baltimore to live as a houseboy with Hugh and Sophia Auld, relatives of his master. It was shortly after his arrival that his new mistress taught him the alphabet. When her husband forbade her to continue her instruction, because it was unlawful to teach slaves how to read, Frederick took it upon himself to learn. He made the neighborhood boys his teachers, by giving away his food in exchange for lessons in reading and writing. At about the age of twelve or thirteen Douglass purchased a copy of The Columbian Orator , a popular schoolbook of the time, which helped him to gain an understanding and appreciation of the power of the spoken and the written word, as two of the most effective means by which to bring about permanent, positive change.
