Extractions: Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass Born a slave in Maryland in 1817, Frederick Douglass ran away to freedom in 1838. He eventually made his way to New Bedford, Massachusetts, where he pursued his education while working as a laborer. In New Bedford he began to learn more about the abolitionist movement and to define his life's mission, largely by reading William Lloyd Garrison's paper, Liberator . About his first exposure to the Liberator Douglass wrote: "The paper became my meat and my drink. My soul was set all on fire. Its sympathy for my brethren in bonds - its scathing denunciations of slaveholders - its faithful exposures of slavery - and its powerful attacks upon the upholders of the institution - sent a thrill of joy through my soul, such as I had never felt before!" Douglass joined in the anti-slavery movement through black abolitionist groups in New Bedford. After making a moving speech in 1841 at the annual meeting of the Anti- Slavery Society in New Bedford, Douglass was invited to become a full-time agent of the Massachusetts Anti Slavery Society. This marked the beginning of his remarkable career as an extraordinary orator, author, editor, and later diplomat and public servant. Frederick Douglass was a life-long crusader for freedom, justice, and equal rights for African Americans.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. PREFACE If the volume now presented to the public were a mere work of ART, the history of its misfortune might be written in two very simple wordsTOO LATE. The nature and character of slavery have been subjects of an almost endless variety of artistic representation; and after the brilliant achievements in that field, and while those achievements are yet fresh in the memory of the million, he who would add another to the legion, must possess the charm of transcendent excellence, or apologize for something worse than rashness. The reader is, therefore, assured, with all due promptitude, that his attention is not invited to a work of ART, but to a work of FACTSFacts, terrible and almost incredible, it may be yet FACTS, nevertheless.

Extractions: My mother was named Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey, both colored, and quite dark. My mother was of a darker complexion than either my grandmother or grand- father. Lee's Mill. I was not allowed to be present during her illness, at her death, or burial. She was gone long before I knew any thing about it. Never having enjoyed, to any considerable extent, her soothing presence, her tender and watchful care, I received the tidings of her death with much the same emotions I should have probably felt at the death of a stranger. Called thus suddenly away, she left me without the slightest intimation of who my father was. The whisper that my master was my father, may or may not be true; and, true or false, it is of but little consequence to my purpose whilst the fact remains, in all its glaring odiousness, that slaveholders have ordained, and by law established, that the children of slave women shall in all cases follow the condition of their mothers; and this is done too obviously to administer to their own lusts, and make a gratification of their wicked desires profitable as well as pleasurable; for by this cunning arrangement, the slaveholder, in cases not a few, sustains to his slaves the double relation of master and father.

http://academics.smcvt.edu/dmindich/understanding_frederick_douglass.htm

Extractions: Mindich argues that a synthesis of journalism and mainstream histories can bring the understanding of Frederick Douglass in particular, and the field of antebellum journalism in general, to a more historically relevant plane. If viewed in terms of a collision between fields, views and ideas, Douglass' work can provide a model for a new synthesis of journalistic ideas. Full Text: To discover how much the field of journalism history is in need of a fundamental revision, thumb through the indices of all the usual suspects and look up references to Frederick Douglass. It is no exaggeration to say that you will find that nearly all the standard journalism histories fail to place him in the context of nineteenth century political reality.1 The corollary is true, too: mainstream histories can help us understand his politics but fail to explain his journalism. This article argues that a synthesis of journalism and mainstream histories can bring Douglass in particular, and the field of antebellum journalism in general, to a more intellectually challenging and historically relevant plane. This is to say that we need to develop a new approach to the journalism of the Jacksonian age and that this approach must be rooted in the strengths of both journalism history and American history. To this end, I have looked at how Douglass in particular and nonpartisanship in general are viewed in the synthesis studies of journalism and mainstream history. I have also surveyed many smaller works in article and monograph form, which I refer to in the course of this study, but my main focus will be on the synthesis histories.

Narrative Of The Life Of Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass was born in slaveryas Frederick Augustus Washington but he knew that it was 1817 or 1818.
http://afgen.com/slave1.html

Extractions: The Underground Railroad may be defined as the organized effort to assist runaway slaves in their dash for freedom. Since slipping away from one's master was a hazardous step, most runaways required help. The underground railroad was the popular name for the process of receiving these fugitives, hiding them overnight and then conducting them to the next station en route to freedom. In addition to helping runaways, this movement had a decidedly disturbing effect on slavery, making such property all the more risky. Wilbur H. Siebert, the foremost scholarly authority on the underground railroad, came to the conclusion that it was "one of the greatest forces which brought on the Civil War, and thus destroyed slavery." - Benjamin Quarles Frederick Douglass The Emancipation Proclamation Whereas on the 22nd day of September, A.D. 1862, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing, among other things, the following, to wit: "That on the 1st day of January, A.D. 1863, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free."

Extractions: The African Americans Search for Truth and Knowledge By Dr. Leonard Jeffries, Jr. Part Twenty-Five: African American Resistance - Accommodation Tradition Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad During slavery one of the best protests against the inhuman system was running away. All during slavery, the slave owners dreaded the run-away or fugitive slave. Countless thousands of African Americans escaped servitude and make their way to freedom following the North Star. Frederick Douglass escaped his Maryland enslavement and became the leading figure fighting against slavery. Harriet Tubman was the symbol of defiant runaways and a leading conductor on the Underground Railroad which was not a railway line but an escape route to freedom to the North with secret hideaways. Tubman made nineteen trips into the South to free over three hundred slaves. She escaped from the South and went to New York State and then went back to make her daring recruits. Later she explained how it felt to be in the North. She said: "I was free and I couldn't believe it. There was such a glory all around and the sun was shining through the trees and on the hills. I was free." Her personal freedom did not satisfy her; she had a mission to help free others. She was a true symbol of the Abolition Struggle. Harriet Tubman was born in slavery in 1823 and died free in New York in 1913. She has been described as "Black Moses, strong as a man, brave as a lion and cunning as a fox." She was a major conductor on the Underground Railroad which helped thousands of African Americans escape from slavery in the South to freedom in the North and in Canada. The Underground Railroad was never a railroad nor was it underground; it was a system of individuals, families and churches organized to provide safe haven and help African Americans escape from slavery.

Extractions: Frederick Douglass: "The North Star" Frederick Douglass was born in Tuckahoe, Maryland as a slave in 1817. In 1826 his masters wife taught him to read. When he was 21, he escaped slavery and married Anna Murray. "The North Star," an abolitionist paper that he wrote, was first published in 1847. "The North Star" developed into the most influential black antislavery paper published during the ante-bellum era. It was used not only to denounce slavery but also to fight for women's rights. Frederick Douglass's contributions to the Civil War was he wrote and published a paper called "The North Star." This paper contained his true experiences of being a slave. It was against the South and was against slavery. This was a problem for the South because if enough people read and believed this paper, they could eventually persuade the government to abolish slavery completely. Then the South would not posses any individual (slave) to farm their land and they would not only lose money but they could starve. Since these problems would leave such severe effects, this could lead to much disturbances between the South (slave states) and the North (free states). http://www.history.rochester.edu/class/douglass/home.html

Extractions: INTRODUCTION Frederick Douglass's slave narrative is readily accessible to high school students. It is short (slightly more than 120 pages), easy to read and understand, and filled with warmth and wisdom. In addition it presents a vivid picture of a horrifying period of American history that far too few students understand. Students may read about the institution of slavery in history textbooks, some of which attempt to show the cruel inhumanity of many slave owners, but no textbook allows students to see and feel the fear, pain, and hate. Douglass's narrative of his life as a slave lets readers feel the fear he has as a small child separated from his mother, allows us to experience with him the pain inflicted by undeserved whippings and weakness caused by too little food and too much physical exertion, and helps us understand not only the hate of the slave for the master but the sickness of hate that allowed human beings to keep other human beings as chattel.

Extractions: Administrative Assistant to the University Librarian Imagine not knowing the month or date that you were born. Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey could only calculate his birth date to "sometime" in February, 1817. However, this man's towering achievements would soon overshadow the anonymity of his origins as he came to be known as Frederick Douglass , abolitionist, orator, and journalist. Douglass, as well as Abraham Lincoln, were two men who inspired Dr. Carter G. Woodson to set aside a time in February for the celebration of African American history and culture. Initiated by Woodson in 1926 as Negro History Week, the event was later expanded to become Black History Month as part of this nation's 1976 Bicentennial. Woodson, himself the son of former slaves, was a scholar and historian who spent much of his life emphasizing the achievements of this country's black population. Unlike Lincoln, whose role in the abolition of slavery is more familiar because of his presidency and famous Emancipation Proclamation, Douglass remains somewhat in the background. However, you can bring his life and times out of Lincoln's shadow by browsing the many resources available to you from Moellering Library.

She supported antislavery, temperance, women's rights and spiritualism. She married Isaac Post in 1829. The Posts moved to Rochester in 1836, and were among the founders of the Western New York Anti-Slavery Society in 1842. See Amy Post, Biographical Sketch http://www.lib.rochester.edu/rbk/postfam.stm I have not been able to locate friend Sanison. He was probably a Hicksite Quaker residing somewhere between West Winfield and Albany, NY. See also Letter #45 Lucretia and James Mott were Hicksite Quakers and friends of Garrison. They were married on April 10, 1811. After the death of her son in 1817, Lucretia became a minister and Quaker leader. Her sermons touched upon topics of temperance, peace, women's rights and anti-slavery, which both she and James supported. The Motts were among the principle organizers of the Seneca Falls convention in 1848. They were active in the anti-slavery movement, attending the world anti-slavery convention in London in 1840.

Extractions: Frederick Douglass's Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass Although Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in 1817, he died as a free man recognized and respected for his abilities as a speaker and writer and for his contributions to the abolitionist or anti-slavery movement. How could this transition from slavery to freedom take place? In part, the change came from Douglass's escape from a plantation when he was twenty-one years old. By the age of thirty, he had acquired enough money to buy his freedom. Yet, Frederick Douglass knew that his road to freedom had started with a much earlier event in his life. Douglass wrote about this event in his autobiography. * What event do you think could have started Frederick Douglass on the road to freedom? Please talk or think this over and write your ideas here: Did you suspect or guess that Douglass's road to freedom began when he learned to read? Frederick Douglass told the story of how he learned to read and write in his autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass , which he wrote in 1845. He twice revised and updated his life story, publishing it as
