Thank you so much for bringing up his wife Anna. I never knew that she was supporting them before he became a great orator. I will definitely research more about her life.

I just bought a copy of Douglass's book. My public schooling never even mentioned him, and I didn't learn of him until well into my college years. Truly a remarkable man.

Im so glad Anna was talked about. Without her, there was no Frederick. Black women need to be talked about more - and not just in terms of fighting against slavery. But for their skills and talents that are not talked about enough

I remember reading Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass as a senior in high school. It wasn't for class. I didn't understand every part because in my conservative school, they didn't teach us the full story of enslavement. The book opened my eyes to the true horror of slavery. Helped me become more of an anti-racist.

Fredrick Douglas is truly a hero to me. I believe if any Black person should be on U.S. currency, he should be the first. When urging black men to enlist in the Union Army to fight the Confederacy. “You owe it to yourself,” he said. “You will stand more erect and be less liable to insult. You will be defending your own liberty, honor, manhood, and self-respect.” -Fredrick Douglas "My cause is that of the black man, not because he is black but because he is a man." -Fredrick Douglas

I read Douglass's autobiography when I was a teen. It taught me what it is to be free by showing the lot of slaves, and how one rare man overcame that almost insuperable obstacle. His observations about what kept his people down are invaluable. His book made me see that many a freeborn individual still lives the life of a slave. This is one of the few books I have read which I think that everyone in the world should read.

I had to do a biography project in the 4th grade and I got assigned Frederick Douglass. I didn't know who he was and neither did anyone in my family (which looking back is a shame), so I read his biography and most other books on him to get prepared. He was one of the most influential people I had heard of at that point in my life and changed a lot of how I viewed history. He made me want to learn more and now I'm a college graduate with a history degree. I'm so glad I got to learn of his life and I hope this video allows others to have a similar experience to me.

Perhaps he should be considered a founding father. Perhaps there are many others as well, in the sense of the nation being an ongoing project that did not simply appear in a perfect form on the first day. As long as the mantle remains reserved for persons that are no longer living, lest it be reduced to a political tool.

Thank you for doing this Crash Course series. As a Canadian our schooling only touches on this history a little, too little. Things didn't play out exactly the same here but the connections to what did happen here and why are clearer with the bigger picture.

Library of America has a volume of the Autobiographies of Frederick Douglass that includes "Narrative of the Life," "My Bondage and My Freedom," and "Life and Times," and various articles of his other writings. The former "Narrative of the Life" is in their "Slave Narratives" and much of his writing is in "Antislavery Writings," and the four volume "The Civil War: Told by Those Who Lived It." His story and writings are so well-written that people denied that he had been born a slave. His first wife helped him escape from slavery and supported him in his freedom. His second wife was white and his children opposed his marriage to a white woman. Frederick Douglass replied that his first wife was the color of his mother as he saw no problem that his second wife was the color of his father. Frederick Douglass was a hero of the United States and the Nineteenth Century.

Library of America issued a new volume of "Speeches & Writings" by Frederick Douglass. It is excellent reading. I highly recommend it and the companion volume of his "Autobiographies." Library of America will probably issue both volumes as a boxed set. Buy both apart or as a boxed set!
