Fredrick Douglass
One of the most influential abolitionists, Fredrick Douglass, wasn't your typical freedom fighter. For Fredrick, a former slave had the world against him and still fought for his beliefs.
First off escaping from slavery in 1838 had to be a treacherous experience; escaping slavery at any time would be! Most slaves couldn't read or write, but one slave, Fredrick Douglass, broke that barrier and many more. In his writings he uses a wide-open state of mind to clearly get his thoughts across. Fredrick Douglass's point of view about slavery, or rather first person experience on slavery, is expressed throughout the country, as he would explain slavery as being both life and death. How someone can write with such strong emotion, is beyond me, but Douglass did more than that. He captured and captivated the readers and listeners into thinking about and imagining his experiences. Through his years, his use of the language, Fredrick Douglass, related his followers to the life of a slave while at the same time explaining how one could never understand unless he experiences the hardships of slavery on his own. Fredrick Douglass has such talents at pulling people in, and making them envision what was happening. The way Fredrick wrote it's understandable that anyone could fall in love with him and his writing. Each of his sentences flows fluidly and without imperfection. There are no harsh-sounding words that did nothing but intimidate, but rather insightful words that pressed on for the cause. The words of Fredrick Douglass fit together perfectly, as do the ideas in order to make a remarkable essay filled with emotion. Fredrick Douglass was a genius. Feelings quite strongly on the topic of slavery, where never understood until his days. I don't know how, but in his ways, Fredrick Douglass was able to, make people more aware of the hardships of slavery, but understand the prejudice the colored had to live
