The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass

The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass

This work comprises the autobiography of Frederick Douglass, born a slave but who escaped and became a campaigner for anti-slavery societies. He bought his freedom in 1847, and founded two anti-slavery journals, before becoming US minister to Haiti. This is his third autobiography.

Douglass, Frederick: - Born into slavery in Maryland as Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey (1818-1895), Douglass escaped and went on to become an orator, author, and national leader in the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York. Douglass, who taught himself to read and write, gave many speeches against slavery and was the author of three autobiographies. Douglass also became active in politics, successfully campaigning to make ending slavery a key issue in the Civil War and to allow black soldiers to fight in the Union army. His belief in equality for all continued after the war, as he fought for African American rights and became an active supporter of women's suffrage until his death.
