Frederick Douglass's grandmother, Betsey Bailey, was enslaved and served as a caretaker for the family of her enslaver. She was responsible for raising Douglass's father and was known for her strong will and resilience. Despite her circumstances, she played a significant role in maintaining family ties and cultural heritage within the constraints of slavery. Her experiences reflect the broader struggles and endurance of enslaved women during that era.
