Frederick Douglas
his story begins when he goes to work for Ed Covey and a BRUTAL slave breakers
Reading on Mr. Covey and Douglas
Covey's brutality will inspire Douglas in 1836 to set a goal of FREEDOM

Freedom will come in 1838 when he is working in a shipyard and stows away and lands in NYC
he settled in New Bedford, Ma
