After Douglass escaped, he wanted to promote freedom for all slaves. He published a newspaper in Rochester, New York, called The North Star. It got its name because slaves escaping at night followed the North Star in the sky to freedom. Douglass's goals were to "abolish slavery in all its forms and aspects, promote the moral and intellectual improvement of the colored people."

Douglass’ work as a reformer ranged from his abolitionist activities in the early 1840s to his attacks on Jim Crow and lynching in the 1890s. He achieved international fame as an inspiring and persuasive speaker and writer. Douglass embraced antislavery politics and preached his own brand of American ideals. Douglass was the most important black American leader of the nineteenth century.
