Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland in 1818. He had a difficult childhood as a slave, sleeping on cold floors and working long hours in any weather. He taught himself to read and write and began speaking out against slavery, distributing anti-slavery materials. In 1838, he finally escaped to New York where he married and became a prominent abolitionist, orator, author, and reformer for women's suffrage and other causes.
