Frederick Douglass in Baltimore: Path to Freedom

Frederick Douglass's life took a significant turn when he was sent to Baltimore at age 8. There, he was treated well and began learning to read, despite opposition. His self-education continued, inspired by works like 'The Colombian Orator' and events like Nat Turner's rebellion. After returning to Baltimore, he worked at a shipyard but faced harsh conditions. His desire for freedom grew, leading to a plan to escape with Anna Murray. Disguised as a sailor, he boarded a train north, marking the start of his journey to freedom.
