The 1845 international best-selling autobiography tells the author's personal and terrifying experience as one of the millions of Blacks enslaved in the racially divided pre-Civil War era. Douglass describes vividly the brutal treatment; one slave girl was simply "slow to move" and so the Master's wife "broke the girl's nose and breastbone, and thus ended her life. In addition to hard labor, harsh beatings, and the breaking-up of family units, slaves were denied the most basic education. After escaping from his bondage in 1838, Frederick Douglass campaigned as a prominent abolitionist, pressuring the president to the enactment of the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. An eloquent speaker, writer, and statesperson, Douglass was a known proponent of Women's Suffrage, public education with an emphasis on agriculture and trades, and most pointedly... an advocate for freedom and equality for all.
