He has strong ideas about abolishing slavery which brought into close contact with Frederick Douglass. Douglass was born a slave but escaped and became a central figure in the abolitionist movement. At a time when racial tensions were high and racial equality was not yet established, Lincoln and Douglass formed a strong bond over shared ideals and worked alongside each other for a common goal. Based on the book by Niki Giovanni.
