Beginning his long public career in 1841 as an agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, Douglass subsequently edited four newspapers and championed many reform movements. An advocate of morality, economic accumulation, self-help, and equality, Douglass supported racial pride, constant agitation against racial discrimination, vocational education for blacks, and nonviolent passive resistance.He was the only man who played a prominent role at the 1848 meeting in Seneca Falls that formally launched the women's rights movement. He was a temperance advocate and opposed capital punishment, lynching, debt peonage, and the convict lease system. A staunch defender of the Liberty and Republican parties, Douglass held several political appointments, frequently corresponded with leading politicians, and advised Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, and Harrison. He met with John Brown before his abortive raid on Harpers Ferry, helped to recruit African American troops during the Civil War, attended most national black conventions held between 1840 and 1895, and served as U.S. ambassador to Haiti. Frederick Douglass has left one of the most extensive bodies of significant and "able public statements of any figure in American history. In the Words of Frederick Douglass is a rich trove of "ations from Douglass. The editors have compiled nearly seven hundred "ations by Douglass that demonstrate the breadth and strength of his intellect as well as the eloquence with which he expressed his political and ethical principles. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory$y19th century$vQuotations, maxims, etc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 676 $a973.8092 676 $aB 700 $aDouglass$b Frederick$f1818-1895.$0243304 701 $aKaufman$b Heather L.$f1969-$01033483 701 $aStauffer$b John$01033484 702 $aMcKivigan$b John R.$f1949-, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463412003321 996 $aIn the words of Frederick Douglass$92452067 997 $aUNINA
