The correct answer is C) He wrote about his life and gave speeches

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass was once a slave in Maryland who was most probably born out of wedlock.

At a young age he began to learn how to read and write with the help of his owner's wife. However, when he was forced to stop, he took it upon himself to continue his own education and improve his literacy.

He began to believe in the idea of freedom and democracy for all and tried to escape twice, both unsuccessfully. However, he finally managed to reach New York where he was free for the first time in his life.

He quickly became a key figure against slavery and was known as a great orator and a writer. His own autobiography sheds a light on his experiences as a slave and he was seen by many as a shining example of how African-Americans are intellectually equal to the white man.
