Best Answer

After he wrote his book "Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass" his "owner" sent slave-catchers after him. So he said goodbye to his family and left for England on a boat. Many people in England had read his book. They liked him, and there was no slavery in England. They wanted him to speak for him so he finally did. Many of his fans gathered money together and sent it to his "owner" and gave him the rest to help other slaves.
