    Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born into slavery in February 1818, in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough about twelve miles from Easton, in Talbot County, Maryland. Frederick would later change his name to Frederick Douglass after his escape from slavery in September 1838, and settle in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He did this to protect his identity, as he was a fugitive. He never saw his mother, Harriet Bailey, no more than four or five times in his life. Frequently, before a child reached his twelfth month, its mother is taken from it. She is hired out on a farm a considerable distance off to hinder the natural affection of the mother for her child. His father was white. He never knew him; but, it was whispered that it was his master. His mother died when Frederick was about seven years old. He was not allowed to be present during her illness, at her death, or burial. Later in life, he came to realize that slaveholders had ordained, and by law established, that the children of slave women would follow the condition of their mothers. In his opinion, this was done to administer to their own lusts to make a gratification of their wicked and evil desires profitable as well as pleasurable. Such slaves would suffer greater hardships and cruel punishment because…

    To begin with, Frederick had many influential people that took part in his life. For example, Betsy Bailey was not only his maternal grandmother but also his first teacher and his role model. She helped him by answering any of his questions, asking any of her own, nurturing his curiosity, praising his efforts, and lastly, by challenging him to do more. Another influential person that took part in Frederick’s life was Daniel, the eleven-year-old son of his master. While working for Daniel’s father, Frederick was allowed to be a passive spectator in Daniel’s tutoring. From this Frederick was able to learn many new and interesting things like the nuances of their speech patterns, vocabulary, and some body language that would one day be useful in his life. Lastly, among other people, the little…

    During Fredrick’s lifetime, I personally don’t believe justice was possible in the South, so long as humans could be regarded as property. Justice at that time was an unrealistic dream to slaves. It wasn’t possible because the government approved of masters mistreating their slaves. I wouldn’t have been able to live a life of torment the way Fredrick lived. It saddened me when he described in horrific detail the murder of his brother. I now…

    “My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed, the cheerful spark that lingered about my eye died; the dark night of slavery closed in upon me; and behold a man transformed into a brute!” This quote from his narrative is the best example of the mental and physical pain that slaves endured during this time. Fredrick was considered one of the few privileged to be raised in the North where the people were more understanding of his needs as a human being not just a black man. He was educated but also beaten into submission by his owners. He bought his freedom at the age of 21 and set his life goal as educating all people of the inhumane slaughter and descent of his people. He will forever be one of the greatest individuals to take part in the end of…
