B. After a failed attempt to escape in 1836, Douglass was jailed. His master sent him to Baltimore and he was hired out to work in the shipyards. While Douglass was working in Baltimore, he fell in love with a free woman which is what motivated his 2nd and successful escape attempt. Douglass escaped under the guise of being a sailor. He borrowed another sailor’s protection pass, which could be presented in lieu of “free papers” and used it to board a train bound for New York. He met up with his wife-to-be, Anna Murray, and they were married two weeks later on Sept 15, 1838.
