Freddie's Part in the Underground Railroad/Abolitionist Movement

Freddie just happens to be the most well known abolitionist of all time, think of him like Micheal Jordan, but not in a "racey" kinda way. He also even had and published a newspaper called, "The North Star." Slaves used this newspaper to escape by following the "north star" to freedom. People like Harriet Tubman used this method to break free of the shackles of slavery.

He was good friends with Lincoln, they both shared for the end of slavery. Fred even asked for equal pay to African-American soliders during the Civil War, though Lincoln sorta shot the idea down by telling him that he would only do it once the time is right. This angered Douglass, but he still held a great deal of respect for him. Abe even invited him to the White House three times, and even to his second ingouration.

Frederick was able to recruit young African-American men to fight for the Union, and he even recruited his own two sons. During this time of war, he still wrote and spoke about the abolition of slavery.

Frederick Douglass is considered to be the father of the civil rights movemnet. The civil rights movemnet was a series nonviolent protests to end legal racial segragation and discrimination throughout the United States. Frederick stated,  "I will unite with anybody to do right and with no one to do wrong." This could be compared to the civil rights movement. Civil rights actavists were able to gather people with the same mindset as the leaders, as to those who opposed them

Frederick Douglass has had an long lasting impact on society that can still be seen today. If he it weren't for him, maybe more northerners would still be in support of slavery, or some people wouldn't feel moved or changed due to his inspiring words. If he didn't talk about the issues of slavery to so many people, the Civil Rights movement might not have happened. Maybe the Underground Railroad and the abolitionist wouldn't of mustered up enough influnce to spark a flame in the hearts of the people to abolish slavery. Maybe African-American Union soliders woudn't ever been payed the same amount of money as a white Union solider if Fred never brought it to Lincoln's attention. Maybe the Emcipation Proclamation would've been worded differently if it weren't for Freddie. We might not have seen the era of blaxploitation in film, or the rise in equality in media for African-Americans. Shoutout to him though, w mans.
