The son of a black slave, Harriet Bailey, and an unknown white father, he took the name of Douglass (from Scott's hero in The Lady of the Lake ) after his second, and successful, attempt to escape from slavery in 1838. At New Bedford, Mass., he found work as a day laborer. An extemporaneous speech before a meeting at Nantucket of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in 1841 was so effective that he was made one of its agents. Douglass, who had learned to read and write while in the service of a kind mistress in Baltimore, published his Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass in 1845. Fearing capture as a fugitive slave, he spent several years in England and Ireland and returned in 1847, after English friends had purchased his freedom. At Rochester, N.Y., he established the

    Extractions: FREDERICK DOUGLASS Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in 1817, in Tuckahoe, Maryland. Because his slave mother, Harriet Bailey, used to call him her "little valentine," he adopted February 14th as his birthday, not knowing the exact date of his birth. He knew very little about his mother since she was employed as a field hand on a plantation some twelve miles away, and she died when he was eight or nine years old. Douglass knew even less about his father, but it was rumored that he was the son of his White slave master, Aaron Anthony. Young Frederick was grossly mistreated. To keep from starving, on many occasions, he competed with his master's dogs for table scraps and bones. In 1825, he was sent to serve as a houseboy in the home of Hugh and Sophia Auld in Baltimore. Mrs Auld grew fond of him and sought to teach him to read and write. By the time her irate husband discovered the deed and put a stop to it, Douglass had acquired enough of the rudiments to carry on by himself. His life in Baltimore was interrupted in 1832 at the death of Captain Anthony. Frederick was passed along to the possession of Thomas Auld, Anthony's son-in-law. The lessons he learned about the evils of slavery and his hatred of the institution was deepened during his stay with Thomas Auld. He infuriated the Auld's by his refusal to call his owner "Master" instead of "Captain."

    Extractions: of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass (1817?-1895) Preface Appendix My mother was named Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey, both colored, and quite dark. My mother was of a darker complexion than either my grandmother or grandfather. My father was a white man. He was admitted to be such by all I ever heard speak of my parentage. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the correctness of this opinion, I know nothing; the means of knowing was withheld from me. My mother and I were separated when I was but an infantbefore I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age. Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an old woman, too old for field labor. For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it be to hinder the development of the child's affection toward its mother, and to blunt and destroy the natural affection of the mother for the child. This is the inevitable result.

    Extractions: "Prejudice against color is stronger North than South. It hangs around my neck like a heavy weight." Frederick Bailey was born into slavery, circa 1817, in Tuckahoe, Maryland, the son of a slave mother, Harriet Bailey, and a white man. The cruel, inhumane, treatment of blacks as slaves during his early years instilled in him a passion to the abolitionist cause that would influence his entire life. Failing in an attempt to escape to the North in 1836, he eventually gained freedom two years later when he fled to New Bedford, Massachusetts, changing his name to Frederick Douglass. In 1838 he married Anna Murray, a free colored woman whom he had met in Baltimore. His career as an anti-slavery advocate began in 1841 in an impromptu speech to the attendees at an anti-slavery convention. His eloquence and stylish oratory as, " a recent graduate from the institution of slavery with his diploma on his back," caused the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society to employ him as one of their agents. His speeches in the northern states and his diligent national work for the

    Extractions: BEGINNINGS Published African-American literature begins with the 1773 book Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral FEATURED WRITING Like Phillis Wheatley, many African-American slaves were drawn to the Bible. But literacy brought with it knowledge, inspiration and sometimes the means to escape from slavery. In the early part of the 19th century, Southern society fought the spread of literacy among slaves, often with severe punishment. Oral histories from aging slaves compiled by the Federal Writers Project in the 1930s show how the slaves sought out the life-skill of literacy. "None of us was ‘lowed to see a book or try to learn. They say we git smarter than they was if we learn anything, but we slips around and gits hold of that webster’s blue-back speller and we hides it till’ way in the night and then we lights a little pine torch, and studies that spelling book. We learn it too." -Jenny Proctor, a former slave

    Extractions: Frederick Douglas, whose original name, Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born on Feb. 7, 1817, at Tuckahoe, Md. This African American was one of the most eminent human-rights leaders of the 19th century. His oratorical and literary brilliance thrust him into the forefront of the U.S. Abolition movement and he became the first black citizen to hold high rank in the U.S. government. Separated as an infant from his slave mother (he never knew his white father), Frederick lived with his grandmother on a Maryland plantation until, at the age of eight. His owner sent him to Baltimore to live as a house servant with the family of Hugh Auld, whose wife defied state law by teaching the boy to read. But Auld declared that learning would make him unfit for slavery, and Frederick was forced to continue his education surreptitiously with the aid of schoolboys in the street. Upon the death of his master, he was returned to the plantation as a field hand at 16. Later, he was hired out in Baltimore as a ship caulker. He tried to escape with three others in 1833, but the plot was discovered before they could get away. Five years later, however, he fled to New York City and then to New Bedford, Mass., where he worked as a laborer for three years, eluding slave hunters by changing his name to Douglass. At a Nantucket, Mass., antislavery convention in 1841, Douglass was invited to describe his feelings and experiences under slavery. These extemporaneous remarks were so poignant and naturally eloquent that he was unexpectedly catapulted into a new career as agent for the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. From then on, despite heckling and mockery, insult, and violent personal attack, Douglass never flagged in his devotion to the Abolitionist cause.

    Extractions: Reformat for printing "D ocumenting the American South" (1998) From the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Academic Affairs Library. This site provides electronic texts from slaves. It states that "When completed, it [this site] will include all the narratives of fugitive and former slaves published in broadsides, pamphlets, or book form in English up to 1920 and many of the biographies of fugitive and former slaves published in English before 1920." It already has a good number of narratives available for view. This serves as a great source for getting a wide variety of works by slaves. http://metalab.unc.edu/docsouth/ S lave T estimony: Two Centuries of Letters, Speeches, Interviews, and Autobiographies This source is highly recommended . This book is an excellent source for those who want to read works by slaves. It includes works from the mid 1700s through the late 1800s, which consist of letters between spouses who have been separated, parents and children who have been separated, and even letters from those who were on the Amistad. The newspaper and magazine interviews are especially informative, also. All of these works are superb in providing unfiltered works written by slaves themselves.

    Extractions: Frederick Douglass was born a slave around the year 1818. When he was a young boy, his new mistress taught him the alphabet, which was a crime. Using this knowledge as a starting point, Douglass taught himself to read and write. The experience of being forbidden access to the written word, along with the information he secretly read, made him understand the power of the spoken and written word. Douglass escaped from slavery in 1838 and moved to Massachusetts, where he became active in the abolitionist movement. He lectured for the Anti-Slavery Society, published his own abolitionist newspaper, campaigned for women's rights, and wrote three autobiographies. During the Civil War, Douglass served as an adviser to president Lincoln, and after the war served the country in other appointed posts. Douglas died in 1895, but his message lives on: Believe in yourself and you can make a far-reaching, long-lasting change for the good in the world.
