Frederick Douglass had a complicated relationship with his parents. His mother, Harriet Bailey, was a slave who had limited contact with him, as she worked on a different plantation and died when he was just seven years old. His father, believed to be a white plantation owner, was largely absent from his life, contributing to Douglass's feelings of abandonment and a desire to understand his heritage. This lack of parental connection profoundly influenced his views on family and freedom throughout his life.
