Description
Frederick Douglass, on English platform, denouncing slaveholders and their religious abettors. Douglass spent two years in Ireland and Great Britain, where he gave many lectures in churches and chapels (1845-47). Frederick Douglass (February 1818 - February 20, 1895) was an American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman. After escaping from slavery, he became a leader of the abolitionist movement, gaining note for his oratory and incisive antislavery writing. He stood as a living counter-example to slaveholders' arguments that slaves did not have the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. The Uncle Tom's Cabin Almanck, Or, Abolitionist Memento, 1852 (cropped and cleaned).
