     The legacy of the life of Frederick Douglass is truly undeniable. His bravery and courage to fight the bonds and chains of slavery and racism that cound him and his fellow African-Americans shows how passionate he was about not going into the night silent. Until his very last days, even after the Emancipation Proclamation had been passed, Frederick Douglass fought for black suffrage and complete equality. He was so passionate about this topic that he conversed with President Lincoln about it himself. He even fought for women's equality, even that topic did not personally affect him. Douglass felt for them as they were treated unfairly just like he was. This empathetic spirit of his led him to even attend a women's rights event in Seneca Falls, New York. 

     In his Autobiography, Narritave of the Life My Bondage and My Freedom Life and Times, he describes his life story in detail,  including every single master and whether they were kind or not. He even shows, how they were so double-sided. On one hand they would be kind to others and great Christians, but on the other they would be cruel and unforgiving to their slaves. He fought until his death on February 20, 1895. We all still remember his noble life.
