In 1818, the man who would go on to become one of the greatest leaders in the cause against American slavery was himself born into slavery.
At the age of 20, he escaped bondage and went on to lead one of the most remarkable careers of the 19th century.
He led a multifaceted life, including becoming one of the era’s most notable orators, a newspaper publisher, an author, a presidential advisor, and an ambassador.
In the end, he perhaps played one of the biggest roles in the end of slavery.
