Born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey into slavery in Maryland, Douglass did not know his real birth date. He later adopted February 14 as the date to celebrate. Separated from his mother at a young age, Douglass had the good fortune to be exposed to reading at an early age. He soon learned enough to begin teaching other slaves. However, he was sent to another plantation where his education was discouraged. Douglass wrote about this time in his autobiography, citing it as a period that nearly broke his spirit. But it didn’t break him. In fact, he fought back and tried to escape slavery several times. On the third try, he succeeded.
