Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey; (c.?February 1818 - 1895) was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining note for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings. In his time, he was described by abolitionists as a living counter-example to slaveholders' arguments that slaves lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. Northerners at the time found it hard to believe that such a great orator had once been a slave. Document Signed "Fred'k Douglass" as Recorder of Deeds. October 20, 1883, Washington D.C. Fine condition.
