Enlist in the Union army.
Frederick Douglas was a former slave that became a prolific writer in the middle to late 19th century in the United States. He wrote abolitionist papers and editorials urging the end to US slavery. He was also a proponent of women's' rights. His work is preserved at Library of Congress. He became a publisher and lectured on human rights. He was a man ahead of his time. He was so well known that President Lincoln invited him to his second inauguration ball.
You do the math. He was born August 2, 1924 in Harlem. and during those years, J.H.S. 139 (Douglass) went from 7th grade through 9th Grade. I would say around 1937.
During the Civil War Douglass, a Radical Republican, tried to persuade President Abraham Lincoln that former slaves should be allowed to join the Union Army. After the war Douglass campaigned for full civil rights for former slaves and was a strong supporter of women's suffrage.Frederick Douglass fought for what he believed in.
Douglass encounters white-sailed ships moving up the Chesapeake Bay during the spiritual and physical low point of his first months with Covey. The ships appear almost as a vision to Douglass, and he recognizes them as a sign or message about his demoralized state. The ships, traveling northward from port to port, seem to represent freedom from slavery to Douglass. Their white sails, which Douglass associates with angels, also suggest spiritualism-or the freedom that comes with spiritualism.
He also helped slaves escape to the North while working with the Underground Railroad. He established the abolitionist paper The North Star on December 3, 1847, in Rochester, NY, and developed it into the most influential black antislavery paper published during the antebellum era. It was used to not only denounce slavery, but to fight for the emancipation of women and other oppressed groups. Its motto was "Right is of no Sex - Truth is of no Color - God is the Father of us all, and we are all brethren." It was circulated to more than 4,000 readers in the United States, Europe, and the West Indies. In June 1851 the paper merged with the Liberty Party Paper of Syracuse, NY and was renamed Frederick Douglass' Paper. It circulated under this new name until 1860. Douglass devoted the next three years to publishing an abolitionist magazine called Douglass' Monthly

Frederick Douglass...
I think he was on the Union's side.
Yes. After Lincoln's assassination, Mrs. Lincoln sent Frederick Douglass the late President's "favorite walking staff," or cane, in recognition of Douglass' recruiting efforts during the Civil War.
Rather poorly, or so Frederick Douglass would have us believe, and I do tend to believe him. In a pinch, purchase the softback version of:Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave, Written by Himselfby Frederick DouglassThe work is tightly written, short in length, shocking in nature and essential reading for any man or woman possessing some manner of life-affirming ethical construct.
