He was committed to the abolitionist movement, and tried to help those still held as slaves to gain their freedom. A gifted orator, he joined with famed abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, touring the North and speaking out against slavery. During the civil war, he recruited free blacks to fight for the union. After emancipation came, and the civil war ended, Douglass moved to Washington DC, where he got a job in local government; but his advocacy work continued. He also spoke out about the fact that blacks were not treated equally, and he spoke in favor of women getting the vote. He died of a heart attack in February 1895. Thousands paid their respects at his funeral.
