Answer:

He was a former slave who spoke out against the institution of slavery.

Step-by-step explanation:

He was an American social reformer who escaped from slavery in Maryland and became a nationalist leader of the abolitionist movement. He wrote an autobiography named " Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave" in which he told his experiences as a slave. It was very influential along with his second book to promote the cause of abolition.

I hope this answer helps you.
