Frederick Douglass was born in February 1818. He was an African-American abolitionist, social reformer, writer, orator, and statesman. He became part of the abolitionist movement after escaping from slavery. He gained a note because of his oratory skills and the anti-slavery writings. He was the counter-example to the slaveholders' argument that slaves did not have the intellectual capability to function as independent U.S. citizens.
Many Northerners found it an enigma that Frederick Douglass was once a slave. He wrote numerous autobiographies. His 1845 work described his past experiences in slavery. It was a bestseller and instrumental in supporting abolition. He wrote the second piece ''My Bondage and My Freedom'' in 1855. He remained an active campaigner against the act even after the Civil War.
Frederick Douglass' last autobiography was ''Life and Times of Frederick Douglass.'' He first published it in 1881, then revised it in 1892. He died three years later. In it, he covered all the events that took place during and after the Civil War. He supported women's suffrage and also held multiple public offices (Lee, 2009).
Douglass became the first African-American Vice Presidential nominee. Victoria Woodhull had nominated him to be the running mate. In summary, he was a believer in equality of all despite the skin color. He always insisted that he would unite to do right with anyone (Reginald, 2005).
Testimonial.
The ''Frederick Douglass'' essay from the Center was worthwhile. I wanted a Native American writer to handle my paper. You selected one for the task. I was happy with the results. Bravo guys! Jeremy, Nyack College.
