520 $aA biography of the escaped slave who became a renowned writer, orator, abolitionist, and diplomat.
520 $a"Fugitive slave, abolitionist, orator, journalist, and diplomat--Frederick Douglass, more than any other mid-nineteenth-century American, was truly a representative man, his life exemplifying the dominant political, social, and intellectual themes of his society and of the age. Born a slave who dared to envision freedom, the self-educated Douglass escaped bondage at the age of twenty-one and fled to the North, where his personal triumph over slavery quickly came to the attention of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. At the 1841 Nantucket convention of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, his stirring words and commanding physical presence propelled him to the fore of the abolitionist movement. That he was still technically a fugitive slave made his case against slavery all the more dramatic. The Civil War provided an opportune stage for Douglass's resounding condemnation of more than two centuries of racial tyranny, but though his vigorous efforts on behalf of black equality contributed to Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, he would be deeply disappointed in the failure of Reconstruction to ensure political and social equality. From the beginning of his public career, Douglass was acutely aware of his life as exemplifying something much larger than his private self--of his own remarkable progression from slave to freedman to diplomat bearing visible proof, in the ideology of the age, of the perfectibility of the black man. He published three widely read memoirs during his lifetime--each going beyond the autobiographical into the realm of impassioned polemic--and founded The North Star, which he issued for seventeen years. A champion of all human rights, Douglass joined Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the struggle for women's suffrage. Frederick Douglass's life is an eloquent testimony to the American guiding principle of freedom. Drawing on the life and thought of this extraordinary abolitionist and nationalist, [this book] explores the problem of freedom in the nineteenth century from the antebellum period through Reconstruction, and brings into sharp focus the society's weaknesses as well as its strengths."--Dust jacket.
