Douglass Documents Our Web Site serves three purposes: To provide information about the Frederick Douglass Papers Project , including information about project history, funding, publications and staff. Also, because many people, including historians, are uncertain as to what such projects as ours actually do, this section will provide information about the discipline of documentary editing. To offer a basic overview of Frederick Douglass's life and to direct the general public or beginning researcher (K-12 students and teachers, undergraduate and graduate student, or beginning amateur and professional) toward the best sources for further study and the creation of National History Day or Black History Month projects. To serve as a tool for the advanced researcher - and to be a means for the advanced researcher to assist the project - in locating original Douglass documents in repositories and private collections in the United States and overseas, and to share current research regarding Douglass, his family and his associates.

Prospective Students Undergraduate courses Postgraduate courses About Us ... David Bruce Centre Useful Links : Portraits Frederick Douglass A great orator and writer, a leading figure in the abolitionsist movement, Frederick Douglass was born in or around 1817 into slavery in Maryland. He escaped in 1838. In 1841 he addressed an abolitionist meeting in Nantucket , recounting his life as a slave. This was followed by lectures throughout the East, with the publication in 1845 of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: an American slave . The book revealed his master's identity and he took refuge in England where he was helped by sympathetic liberals to buy his freedom. Back in America he published the abolitionist North Star , the first of a series of journals he was to create. Increasingly, he came to reject Garrison's moralist stance against slavery in favour of political struggle and support of the Republican party, also championing the rights of women. During the Civil War he helped recruit black soldiers for the Union army, afterwards supporting Reconstruction and campaigning for Republican Presidents. Douglass wrote two other autobiographies

Frederick Douglass American Abolitionist "Who would be free themselves must strike the blow....I urge you to fly to arms and smite to death the power that would bury the Government and your liberty in the same hopeless grave. This is your golden opportunity." ...Frederick Douglass "There is no negro problem. The problem is whether the american people have loyalty enough, honor enough, patriotism enough, to live up to their own constitution.." Frederick Douglass saw the Civil War as the inevitable consequence of man's inhumanity to man and a necessary conflagration to break the bonds of slavery. He saw immediately that if former slaves could fully participate in the fighting, they could not be denied full citizenship in the Republic. George Luther Turner, one of the original backers of John Brown, became a major in the Union Army. He immediately turned to Douglass to help recruit "Colored" ; Troops. The March issue of "Douglass Monthly" issued the well known challenge "Men of Color To Arms." Douglass recruited over one hundred free blacks from upstate New York for the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts. Among the recruits arriving at boot camp were two of Douglass' sons Lewis and Charles. Lewis, the older son, served as the first sergeant major of the 54th and he was in the thick of the fighting at Fort Wagner where 1515 Union troops were mowed down by a blistering barrage from the Confederate stronghold. Lewis marveled that he returned unharmed from the assault.

Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass was born in slavery as Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey near Easton in Talbot County, Maryland. He was not sure of the exact year of his birth, but he knew that it was 1817 or 1818. As a young boy he was sent to Baltimore, to be a house servant, where he learned to read and write, with the assistance of his master's wife. In 1838 he escaped from slavery and went to New York City, where he married Anna Murray, a free African American woman whom he had met in Baltimore. Soon thereafter he changed his name to Frederick Douglass. In 1841 he addressed a convention of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in Nantucket and so greatly impressed the group that they immediately employed him as an agent. He was such an impressive orator that numerous persons doubted if he had ever been a slave, so he wrote Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass . During the Civil War he assisted in recruiting African Americans for the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Regiments and consistently argued for the emancipation of slaves. After the war he was active in securing and protecting the rights of the freemen. In his later years, at different times, he was secretary of the Santo Domingo Commission, marshall and recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, and United States Minister to Haiti. His other autobiographical works are My Bondage and My Freedom and Life and Times of Frederick Douglass , published in 1855 and 1881 respectively. He died in 1895.

30. Frederick Douglass, Canandaigua, New York There are many versions of this frederick douglass quote circulating on the web, with conflicts over the accurate text and date. I did some library research http://www.buildingequality.us/Quotes/Frederick_Douglass.htm

Frederick Douglass, the Accurate "Without Struggle/No Freedom" Quote This is probably the most famous quote by abolitionist orator Frederick Douglass: "If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters . Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." Frederick Douglass, 1857 "Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reform. The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims, have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, putting all other tumults to silence. It must do this or it does nothing. If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters." Frederick Douglass, 1857

Dates: Life as a Slave Frederick Douglass was born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in February 1818. He was named Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey. His mother, Harriet Bailey, was a slave on a plantation in Tuckahoe, Maryland. Douglass and his mother belonged to Aaron Anthony who was the plantation superintendent and probably his father. He did not have much contact with his mother who was hired out to a neighboring plantation. She was only able to visit on a few occasions because the twelve-mile journey was too far to travel on a regular basis. As a young boy, Douglass lived with his grandparents until he was six. He was then sent to live on the Lloyd Plantation, where he stayed until he was sent to Baltimore when he was eight years old. In Baltimore, he lived with Hugh and Sophia Auld. At his new home, Sophia Auld began to teach him to read. However, when her husband found out he forbid it, and she stopped.

40. Frederick Douglass Speech - The Hypocrisy Of American Slavery frederick douglass (18171895) was the best known and most influential African American leader of the 1800s. He was born a slave in Maryland but managed to http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/douglass.htm

Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) was the best known and most influential African American leader of the 1800s. He was born a slave in Maryland but managed to escape to the North in 1838. He traveled to Massachusetts and settled in New Bedford, working as a laborer to support himself. In 1841, he attended a convention of the Massachusetts Antislavery Society and quickly came to the attention of its members, eventually becoming a leading figure in the New England antislavery movement. In 1845, Douglass published his autobiography, "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: an American Slave." With the revelation that he was an escaped slave, Douglass became fearful of possible re-enslavement and fled to Great Britain and stayed there for two years, giving lectures in support of the antislavery movement in America. With the assistance of English Quakers, Douglass raised enough money to buy his own his freedom and in 1847 he returned to America as a free man. He settled in Rochester, New York, where he published The North Star, an abolitionist newspaper. He directed the local underground railroad which smuggled escaped slaves into Canada and also worked to end racial segregation in Rochester's public schools. In 1852, the leading citizens of Rochester asked Douglass to give a speech as part of their Fourth of July celebrations. Douglass accepted their invitation.
