With the possible exception of Martin Luther King, Jr. His list of accomplishments would be impressive enough even without taking into account the fact that he was born into slavery. Douglass father was a white man, even perhaps his master Aaron Anthony. When Douglass was about 12, his slaveowners wife, Sophia Auld, began teaching him the alphabet in defiance of the Souths laws against teaching slaves how to read. When her husband Hugh found out, he was furious, reminding her that if the slave learned to read, he would become dissatisfied with his condition and desire freedom. Those words would prove prophetic.
On September 3, , Douglass successfully escaped slavery, traveling by boat to Delaware, Philadelphia, and finally New York, all in the span of a day. He stood out as the living embodiment of an intellectual former slave, the antithesis of slaveholders arguments that blacks were an inferior race. Douglass remained active in the fight for civil rights and abolition throughout the Civil War and Reconstruction, even meeting President Lincoln and strongly urging him to let black men enlist in the Union. As Douglass constantly stated, nobody had more to fight for in the Civil War than black men.
Douglass continued his work all the way up to his death in , continuing to advocate on behalf of blacks, women, immigrants and even Native Americans.
Douglass famously said, "I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong. The Illustrated Life of Frederick Douglass looks at Douglasss incredible life story of preservation and perseverance, explaining how the man who literally started with nothing became his peoples Martin Luther King Jr.

In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. This concise, but comprehensive audiobook, will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end. In , during a fight along the Yellowstone River between U. At the height of the battle, with bullets whizzing all around him, this warrior sat down, loaded his cannupa sacred pipe , and began to smoke, partaking in his people's religious sacrament. For the Sioux, smoking a pipe was akin to praying, and the smoke, wafting up through to the heavens, represented those prayers as they floated up to Wakan Tanka, the "god" of the Native Americans who occupied the North American Plains.
Wakan Tanka is not the name of their god, but rather a description, for the words literally mean Great Mystery. The Sioux warrior continued smoking until done with his pipe, and after carefully reaming and cleaning out the pipe, he rose to his feet, and rejoined the battle. Of course, it was not that battle which made Sitting Bull one of the most famous Native Americans in American history.

Thomas Jonathan Jackson is one of the most famous generals of the Civil War, but many of the people he continues to fascinate probably dont remember his whole name. Ironically, its still unclear whether that was a compliment for standing strong or an insult for not moving his brigade, but the nickname stuck for the brigade and the general itself.
