Question

What was douglass forced to do at the age of six

Answer 1

A very influential African American leader of the nineteenth century, Frederick Douglass used his exceptional skills as an orator, writer, journalist, and politician to fight for the abolition of slavery and for an end to racial discrimination. He helped to shape the climate of public opinion that led to the ratification of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which were created in large measure to protect, respectively, the freedom, citizenship, and voting rights of ex-slaves. His Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass (1845) is a classic account of the dehumanizing effects of slavery for slave and slaveholder alike.

Answer 2

He was forced to separate from his grandparents and moved to the Wye House Plantation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frederick Douglass was an American social reformer and abolitionist. After he escaped from slavery he became a living counter-example of the slaveholder argument that slaves could not be independent citizens because of their lack of intellect.

He was born into slavery and soon separate from his mother. He was raised by his maternal grandmother and grandfather until the age of six when he was separated from them and sent to a plantation.
