Literature 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

13. Frederick Douglas: A Monumental Rebuke To Slavery biographical information. http://www.baltimoremd.com/monuments/douglass1.html

Monumentally Speaking . . . by Christopher T. George Frederick Douglas: A Monumental Rebuke to Slavery I n the photographs of him as an older man and as depicted in the statue of him that stands in front of Holmes Hall on the campus of Morgan State University, Frederick Douglass looks positively biblical: a striking man with a bushy beard who was a giant of his time; a man whose life stands as a rebuke to the evils of slavery in which he was born on Maryland's Eastern Shore in 1817. This great American was born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey at Tuckahoe, around twelve miles from Easton in Talbot County, the son of Harriet Bailey, a slave, and an unknown white father. His life is well documented in his own writings. The first version of his autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave . . . . appeared in 1845, seven years after he escaped from slavery on a northbound train from Baltimore to New York City in 1838. The Narrative proved an instant best seller, selling 30,000 copies in its first five years. Its sales even outstripped Henry Thoreau's On Walden Pond . Douglass's first autobiography was followed by My Bondage and My Freedom (1855) and Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (1881). The last-named book was republished in a revised edition in 1892, three years before his death on February 20, 1895 at his home, Cedar Hill, in Anacostia. Washington. D.C., which is today a museum to his life.

Before him sat abolitionists who had travelled to the Massachusetts island of Nantucket. Only 23 years old at the time, Douglass overcame his nervousness and gave a stirring, eloquent speech about his life as a slave. Douglass would continue to give speeches for the rest of his life and would become a leading spokesperson for the abolition of slavery and for racial equality. The son of a slave woman and an unknown white man, "Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey" was born in February of 1818 on Maryland's eastern shore. He spent his early years with his grandparents and with an aunt, seeing his mother only four or five times before her death when he was seven. (All Douglass knew of his father was that he was white.) During this time he was exposed to the degradations of slavery, witnessing firsthand brutal whippings and spending much time cold and hungry. When he was eight he was sent to Baltimore to live with a ship carpenter named Hugh Auld. There he learned to read and first heard the words abolition and abolitionists. "Going to live at Baltimore," Douglass would later say, "laid the foundation, and opened the gateway, to all my subsequent prosperity."

18. Encyclopaedia Britannica (11th Edition): Douglass, Frederick Biography of American orator and journalist Frederick Douglass from Encyclopaedia Britannica (11th edition). http://www.trip.net/~bobwb/britannica/douglass.html

Encyclopaedia Britannica (11th edition) DOUGLASS, FREDERICK (1817-1895), American orator and journalist, was born in Tuckahoe, Talbot county, Maryland, probably in February 1817. His mother was a negro slave of exceptional intelligence, and his father was a white man. Until nearly eight years of age, he was under the care of his grandmother; then he lived for a year on the plantation of Colonel Edward Lloyd, of whose vast estate his master, Captain Aaron Anthony, was manager. After a year he was sent to Baltimore, where he lived in the family of Hugh Auld, whose brother, Thomas, had married the daughter of Captain Anthony; Mrs Auld treated him with marked kindness and without her husband's knowledge began teaching him to read. With money secretly earned by blacking boots he purchased his first book, the Columbian Orator Lady of the Lake . For three years he worked as a day labourer in New Bedford. An extempore speech made by him before an anti-slavery meeting at Nantucket, Mass., in August 1841 led to his being appointed one of the agents of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, and in this capacity he delivered during the next four years numerous addresses against slavery, chiefly in the New England and middle states. To quiet the suspicion that he was an impostor, in 1845 he published the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave

This is your golden opportunity." ...Frederick Douglass "Once let the black man get upon his person the brass letter, U.S., let him get an eagle on his button, and a musket on his shoulder and bullets in his pocket, there is no power on earth that can deny that he has earned the right to citizenship." "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." Text that is geared toward an elementary audience. There are many comprehensive titles that look at Douglass' life. 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.
