In 1836, Frederick met and fell in love with a free black woman named Anna Murray. Murray had a job cleaning other people’s homes. She gave Frederick money to help him escape by getting on a train to New York City.
When Frederick Bailey reached New York he changed his name to Frederick Douglass to hide his identity from slave capturers (捕获者). Anna Murray joined him and they were married. They settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts and had five children. In 1841, he attended the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society meeting in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
