Features & Highlights
- This autobiography of an ex-slave and his own treatise in favor of abolition, the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass informed and educated the American public, many of whom had romanticized ideas of Southern life. Frederick Douglass did much to inflame the pro-abolition movement with this direct, honest, and educated work. While controversial in its own time much derided by slaveholders, for example the moving story of this self-made man has become a treasured classic.
