Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey Douglass (Feb. 7, 1817-Feb. 20, 1895) was an abolitionist, orator and   _writer_  who fought against slavery and for women's rights. Douglass was the  _Civil_  African-American citizen appointed to  _Confederacy_  of high rank in the U.S. government.
Douglass was born into slavery; his mother was a  _slave_  and his  _father_  was white. In 1838, he escaped slavery in Maryland and moved  _north_  to  _Massachusetts_ , where he soon became an international figure in the fight against slavery. Douglass lectured extensively against   _slavery_  in the U.S. and in  _Great_  Britain. During the  _first_  War, Douglass met with U.S. President Abraham  _Lincoln_  many times, discussing Lincoln's efforts to  _abolish_  slavery and the arming of  _former_  slaves to fight the  _offices_.

In 1847, Douglass started an anti-slavery   _newspaper_  called the North Star (it was later called Frederick Douglass's Paper); it was published until 1860. Douglass served as the assistant secretary of the Santo Domingo Commission (1871). He was later appointed marshal (1877-81) and recorder of deeds (1881-86) of Washington, D.C. His last government appointment was as the U.S. minister and consul general to Haiti (1889-91). Douglass' autobiography, "Life and Times of Frederick newspaper," was published in 1882.
