Frederick Douglass became involved in the Underground Railroad in the 1830s. He escaped slavery himself in 1838 and became an abolitionist, actively supporting and aiding others in their escape for many years after.
Frederick Douglass worked with many groups during his long and distinguished life; but perhaps his best-known association was with the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, founded by the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. Douglass's first public speech, which brought him to national prominence, was given before that Society, in 1845, and he continued as a Society lecturer for many years.
He lived in a house upon the home plantation of Colonel Edward Lloyd. It is described as about twelve miles north of Easton, in Talbot county, and is situatted on the border of Miles River. He says he spent two years as a child, working as a slave, then moved to other locations and was sold numerous times before his freedom was purchased by two women.
Frederick Douglass was known for his life story, called The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, that I had to read for school. He tells about his masters and about the treatment of his fellow slaves. Frederick addressed this narrative to southerners in the 1800s to demonstrate the treatment of the slaves. After Douglass published his book, many believed him and agreed with him. Some became abolitionists. He also helped on the Underground railroad and helped to fight for women's rights. He thought that everyone was created equally and that nothing could change that.
Frederick Douglas was a social reformer who used writing to argue against slavery. He himself was a slave before writing his autobiographies.
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery and traded away from his fractured family before he was old enough to understood who they were. Educating himself as he could, under threat of death, he managed to escape enslavement and became one of the most popular speakers of his time. Serving as the living example of the argument against slavery, Douglass' public presence did more for the evolution of civil rights in the 1860's than anything else aside from Uncle Tom's Cabin and the war itself.
Frederick Douglass attributes the kindness of Mrs. Auld to her nature as a naturally kind person, unaffected by the corrupting influence of slavery when she first met him. He describes her initial treatment of him as compassionate and genuine before she began to conform to the racial attitudes prevalent at the time.
