The Courage of Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass embodies what it means to be courageous. No matter what trials he faced, he always persevered. Many obstacles were placed in his path that could have given him reason to quit. But, from his youth, he used his wits to gain knowledge that would help him to endure. Courage was something that carried him through tough times. Although it took him many years to escape, he never gave up and kept trying to escape until he finally did. Even when faced with death, he stood strong and fought for what he believed in. When the bonds of slavery had tired his spirit, he found it within himself to keep fighting until he was free, both in his mind and from the tyranny of slavery.
