Frederick Douglass, a former slave, became a prominent figure in the abolitionist movement in the United States in the 19th century. After settling in Massachusetts, Douglass began attending antislavery meetings and speaking at gatherings. His powerful speeches and firsthand experiences with slavery moved audiences and increased his determination to end slavery. To prove the authenticity of his stories, Douglass published his autobiography, which gained widespread readership and put his life in danger. He later traveled to Great Britain, where he lectured and raised funds for the abolitionist cause. Douglass eventually started his own newspaper, The North Star, in Rochester, New York, to share his ideas and advocate for equality. Despite financial difficulties, Douglass continued to write and speak out against racial prejudice, working for universal freedom and equality between races. His speeches in Great Britain also contributed to increased British hostility toward slavery and the British refusal to recognize the Confederacy during the American Civil War.
