Times of Fredrick Douglass is
published
Raised as a slave, Douglass became a major
participant in the abolitionist movement upon
gaining his freedom. In The Life and Times of
Fredrick Douglass, he recounted years of abuse;
his escape to the North and his eventual
freedom. With this publication, he questioned
the true nature of freedom in a land of
independence. This publication, furthermore,
serves as one of few narratives actually written by a
slave.
