He was one of the biggest leaders at the time for abolishment of slavery. He was born to a white father and his mother was white he once say quote "People of Color have the same rights of those that are White". Fredrick Douglass was born in 1817 to a white father. His mother was black. He lived in Tuckahoe, Maryland. He was an advocate to abolish all alvery in the United States of America. He wanted to abolish slavery because he wanted to be like his white father. His actions were important because many of the slaves were dieing because there owners were abusing them. Fredrick Douglass was a "school teacher" to slaves before he became with trying to abolish slavery. He read books and magazines to learn on how to teach kids. He started teaching slaves form nearby plantations on Sundays. Other slave owners beacame upset and one sunday came the the school and attack him with weapons in an effort to stop him from holding the classes. All in all he was the teacher to the slaves weather the owners liked it or not. he once said "If life is more then breath, and the "quick round of blood," I live more than one day than a year in my slave life" One day he was fed up with his slave owner and he ran away from his owner to New York. He married Anna Murray and had 4 children with her. He later moved to Massachusetts. In Massachucetts he m joined at black church, and was asked to speak at the Bristol Anti Slavery Society meeting.
