Frederick Douglass escaped slavery in Maryland in (most likely) 1818. He fled to freedom in New York in 1838. Shortly after he arrived, he sent for his fiance Anna Murray to join him, and they were married twelve days after he originally arrived. Douglass then became involved in the abolitionist movement and wrote an autobiography about his life as a slave. Douglass would add two more autobiographies later in life.
