Frederick Douglass founded which abolitionist newspaper?

• A. The North Star
• B. The Liberator
• C. The Appeal
• D. The Tribune

Answer: (A)

Frederick Douglass used his writings and leadership to launch his own voice in the abolitionist movement, The North Star, starting in 1847. The name signals a guiding beacon toward freedom for enslaved people, reflecting Douglass’s goal to illuminate the path to liberty and equal rights. The newspaper published his speeches, essays, and reports from the abolitionist fight, helping to spread the cause more broadly and sustain momentum. The other papers were founded by different figures in the movement or served different purposes, so none of them are Douglass’s publication. That makes The North Star the correct answer.
