Frederick Douglass, visible abolitionist, civil privileges activist, and reform journalist, was raised in the harmful system of slavery. Frederick was taken to the nearby wheat plantation of Colonel Edward Lloyd. Two years later he was transferred to Baltimore to labor in family members of Hugh and Sophia Auld, where he remained for another seven years. Eventually, Frederick secretly discovered to read and write, despite the regulations against slave literacy, studied discarded papers, and became knowledgeable about the national controversy over slavery. After an unsuccessful attempt to buy his liberty, Frederick escaped from slavery in Sept 1838. Soon after arriving in New Bedford, Frederick Douglass' remarks at an August 1841 convention of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society on Nantucket Island brought him to the interest of Garrison, a leading white abolitionist. As he matured as an antislavery lecturer, his eager mind even led some to question whether he previously have you ever been a slave. To counter questions about his life experience as a slave, Douglass published an autobiography providing full details of his life, in the winter of 1844-1845. Narrative of the life span of Frederick Douglas, an American Slave, is an emotional journey into the atrocious system of slavery, and the inspirational triumph against insurmountable possibilities.
