Frederick Douglass described learning to read as a curse because it awakened him to the harsh realities of slavery and his own oppression. While literacy empowered him with knowledge and the ability to articulate his thoughts, it also filled him with a profound sense of anguish and frustration over his lack of freedom. This newfound awareness made him acutely conscious of the injustices around him, creating a painful awareness of his situation that he could not escape. Ultimately, the ability to read became a source of both enlightenment and torment, as it deepened his longing for liberty.

he out forward the effort to help us get our rights our equals something that we deserved. and not to be treated unfairly but to be equal because no body is perfect than any body else

Frederick Douglass lived from 1818 until 1895. He was around during the time of slavery, and after escaping as a slave, he became a leader of the abolitionist movement.

Frederick Douglass was an active reformer in some of the most important movements of the 19th Century. He was, first and foremost, an abolitionist leader. Later he became active in the women's suffrage movement.

Slavery

Frederick Douglass was born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey. His mother was a slave. He never knew his father. He was the property of Captain Aaron Anthony.

Everybody makes bad decisions at times.

Frederick Douglass went from light-hearted to wretched and gloomy when he learned to read. He began to look at and examine slavery, as he grew more educated. Whereas initially, he had simply viewed it as the condition he happened to be in, he now knew the practice to be abhorrent, and resented the people, no matter how kind they might seem to be, for participating in the system of slavery.

Fredrick Douglas was born in Tuckahoe, Talbot country in Maryland.

Frederick Douglass WAS a Republican. He stated so publicly, in print and speeches throughout his adult life calling it "the party of freedom and progress."

"I recognize the Republican Party as the sheet anchor of the colored man's political hopes and the ark of his safety."

Probably not. It would be difficult to say that anyone born into slavery had a good childhood-- even if your master was not so bad, you were still a slave, and had no legal rights. In Douglass's case, he was born on a plantation, and only saw his mother about three times. He was also not allowed to have an education. It was not until he was able to escape from slavery and become educated that he was able to improve his own life, and begin the work of improving the lives of others.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. believed that integration in education, the work place and society in general was a good thing. As all men and women from all races and ethnic groups are created by God, there is no reason for the segregation of peoples in the US. He wanted peaceful changes in the US to eliminate segregation. He also wanted people to be evaluated on the basis of their minds and actions not by their race or ethnic group.

Frederick Douglass was known for his life story, called The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, that I had to read for school. He tells about his masters and about the treatment of his fellow slaves. Frederick addressed this narrative to southerners in the 1800s to demonstrate the treatment of the slaves. After Douglass published his book, many believed him and agreed with him. Some became abolitionists. He also helped on the Underground railroad and helped to fight for women's rights. He thought that everyone was created equally and that nothing could change that.

Frederick Douglass was born in 1818 as a slave in the American south. Slaves did not have family lives, since their owners regarded them as a form of domestic animal, rather than as human beings. Slaves did not get married, they merely mated.

Frederick Doughlass affected the Civil War by conferring with the President about the treatment of African-American soldiers. He believed that since the Civil War was to abolish slavery, African-Americans should be allowed to fight.
