A Sonnet usually consists of 14 lines and a Volta, which is a turn in the story. This poem has 14 lines and the Volta seems to occur in line 6. The first 6 lines are discussing freedom and liberty. It is not until line 7 does the poem start to speak of Douglass himself.

Which sonnet enumerates the reasons for loving Elizabeth Barrett Browning?

Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnet 43 (from Sonnets from the Portuguese) enumerates reasons why she loves Robert Browning. Perhaps this is the poem you are looking for. I don't know of a similar list poem addressed to EBB. She was quite a few years older than Robert, and sloppy poems weren't quite his style.

Who invented a sonnet?

Shakespeare did not invent the sonnet. An Italian man with the name of Giacomo de Lentini created the first ever sonnet in the 13th centurary (the 1200's). But it was popularized by Francesco Petrarch. His style of sonnet included on octave (a stanza with eight lines) and a sestet (a stanza with six lines). Then, when the sonnet had traveled to England, Shakespeare created what is currently known to be the English or Shakespearean sonnet, which includes three quatrains (a quatrain is a set of four lines, every second line rhymes) and a closing couplet (set of two rhyming lines). So the inventor of the sonnet is Lentini, not Petrarch or Shakespeare.
