I am studying about Frederick Douglass. He was born in Talbot County, Maryland and he was born a slave in 1818. His name was Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey. Frederick's mother's name was Harriet Bailey. His father was a white man, but Frederick did not know his name. During the years 1826-1838, his occupation was a slave, or a servant and a laborer.
