Fredrick Douglass faced all sorts of dangers and conflicts.
#1:
Fredrick's mother died when he was very young. His father was white, and due to his mother's death, he was orphaned. He'd hardly known his mother because they did not live together and she could only visit him at night.
#2:
Slavery. Fredrick Douglass was born into slavery (his mother was a slave, and as for his father, he was most likely his mother's slave owner). Douglass was sent to Baltimore to serve Hugh Auld at age 7.
