How did Frederick Douglass help to abolish slavery?

After Douglass escaped, he wanted to promote freedom for all slaves. He published a newspaper in Rochester, New York, called The North Star. It got its name because slaves escaping at night followed the North Star in the sky to freedom.

Explanation:

He became a leader in the abolitionist movement, which sought to end the practice of slavery, before and during the Civil War. After that conflict and the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862, he continued to push for equality and human rights until his death in 1895.

The reason behind this is because people fear something different.  Some fear that if groups who have different cultures and beliefs would threaten their own.  It gets worse when they believe that these groups are going to ease them out of their homes.  Another reason could be racism.  Some people consider themselves superior to others.  They think they are better than other groups do not want to associate them. It can also be due to growing gap between rich and poor.  The rich often live in exclusive neighborhoods and do not to coexist with those who are not on the same economic level as them.
