 In Baltimore, around 1836, Frederick Douglass was physically harmed by white ship carpenters. He was brutally beaten while working for William Gardner, who built ships in Fell’s Point. After this fight with the white men, Douglass ran away and ended up at Walter Price’s shipyard. If Douglass stayed in Gardner’s shipyard, he could have been lynched for fighting with the men. If Douglass hadn’t fled, his movements and moments would have never happened, and things would be very different without his knowledge and leadership. – Reilly Miller
+In 1836 Frederick Douglass was beaten horribly in a Baltimore shipyard. He would later run away, secure his own freedom. In doing so he was considered an escaped slave, and lived in England for the sake of his own safety. He ended up coming back to America after Brittish abolitionists purchased his freedom, and proceeded to become an avid abotionalist in America. Had he never been beaten, he likely wouldn’t have risked running away, and who knows what impact the lack of Freeman Frederick Douglass would have cost the American slaves. - Elizabeth Davis
