McFeely, "one of the giants of nineteenth-century America." He was a man driven by his anger at injustice, McFeely observed, a man who "never ran away from anything," except the bondage of slavery. Even in that, he took flight not simply to escape but to engage: Upon gaining his freedom, the former slave turned in his tracks and confronted the institution head-on. Douglass had a prominent role in nineteenth-century reform, not only through his abolitionism but also in his support for women's rights and black suffrage. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he stayed true to his principles, remaining steadfast in his commitment to integration and civil rights. Douglass was militant but never a separatist. He rejected the nationalist rhetoric and latter-day conservatism of black abolitionist Martin R. Delany as well as the accommodationism of Booker T. Washington.

Library Frederick Douglass Dictionary Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass was born the son of a slave, Harriet Bailey, and a plantation superintendent, Aaron Anthony, in February, 1818, in Tuckahoe, Maryland. Given the name Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, he was raised by his grandparents after being separated from his mother. However, when Frederick was only six years old, his grandmother took him his master's plantation and left him there. At the age of eight, he was given the position of house boy, where he was taught to read, illegally, by Sophia Auld, the mistress of the house. In 1838, after several attempts and disguised as a sailor, Frederick escaped and fled to New York. The Underground Railroad helped Anna Murray, Frederick's love, escape. The two married and moved to Massachusetts. Frederick adopted the last name "Douglass." He soon became active in the budding abolitionist movement. A speech at the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in 1841 saw the beginning of Douglass' career as a lecturer. His progressive views included being in favor of Irish Home Rule, women's suffrage, and free public education. In 1845, Douglass wrote his autobiography called Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave

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.

Frederick Douglass 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. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) I expose slavery in this country, because to expose it is to kill it. Slavery is one of those monsters of darkness to whom the light of truth is death.

"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 Frederick Douglass 24 X 36 inches "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.

Featured Frederick Douglass was chosen as the archive's namesake because of his mastery of public address and the influence of his speeches on American history. Douglass is arguably America's best example of an orator whose accomplishments came, in large part, through the power of speech. A former slave, Douglass taught himself to become a great speaker and went on to courageously and eloquently make the case for the abolition of slavery and for other causes. William Garrison, abolitionist editor of The Liberator , wrote the preface to Douglass' autobiography. With characteristic drama, Garrison describes a first encounter with Douglass and his powers of oratory: Excerpt from: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave
