Frederick Douglass was born into slavery and traded away from his fractured family before he was old enough to understood who they were. Educating himself as he could, under threat of death, he managed to escape enslavement and became one of the most popular speakers of his time. Serving as the living example of the argument against slavery, Douglass' public presence did more for the evolution of civil rights in the 1860's than anything else aside from Uncle Tom's Cabin and the war itself.
