Frederick Douglass was known for his life story, called The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, that I had to read for school.

After Douglass published his book, many believed him and agreed with him. Some became abolitionists. He also helped on the Underground railroad and helped to fight for women's rights. He thought that everyone was created equally and that nothing could change that.


What was the presidential platform of Frederick Douglass and Victoria Woodhull Claflin?

The Equal Rights Party nominated Victoria Claflin Woodhull as its presidential candidate in 1872. Frederick Douglass was nominated as the vice-presidential candidate. Douglass never acknowledged the nomination and did not actively run. Woodhull couldn't even vote, since women didn't yet have that right in the US. Woodhull's platform was one of equal rights for women, and she was an outspoken proponent of free love.
