Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass had a very hard life. His mother lived 12 miles away from where he worked as a slave. He never knew his father, but he knew that his father was a white man. He learned how to write when he was a slave; he did it in secret. He tried to run away many times, but was caught. He eventually succeeded and got to the North. Frederick Douglass was a very risky man, he published a biography on himself, which could have killed him, because his former slave owner might have tried to get him in the North.
