Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born into slavery in Maryland. He was separated from his mother as an infant, which was customary at the time. At age 7 he started being passed around to different owners. One wife, Sophia Auld, taught Frederick how to read when he was twelve, and in general was a kind person. This was the beginning of what would be a revolutionary life for Frederick Douglass.
