Forlagsbeskrivelse af Abolition Fanaticism in New York af Frederick Douglass
‘Abolition Fanaticism in New York’ is a speech written by Douglass and delivered in 1847.
Proving that the pen can be mightier than the sword, Douglass deftly used his linguistic abilities to create a rousing appeal to the English to shame America into abolishing slavery.
Witty, moving, and always intelligent, this is a superb read for anyone with an interest in one of America’s most unsung heroes.
Frederick Douglass (1818-1995) was an American abolitionist and author. Born into slavery in Maryland, he was of African, European, and Native American descent. He was separated from his mother at a young age and lived with his grandmother until he was moved to another plantation.
Frederick was taught his alphabet by the wife of one of his owners, a knowledge he passed on to other slaves. In 1838, he successfully escaped slavery by jumping on a north-bound train. After less than 24 hours, he was in New York and free.
The same year, he married the woman that had inspired his run for freedom and started working actively as a social reformer, orator, statesman, and women’s rights defender.
He remains most known today for his 1845 autobiography "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave".
