The correct answer is C. The table describes the life of Frederick Douglass.

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass was a revolutionary, politician, orator, writer. After escaping from the slave life in Maryland, he became the leader of the abolition of slavery and social reforms. His influence spanned through the whole American territory and he struggled for the rights of black people throughout his life. He was one of the representatives of the abolitionist movement.

At the age of eight, Douglas was sent to Baltimore to work with a relative of his master. He later worked in a shipyard. He fled in 1838 to Newford, Massachusetts. He returned to work in his old shipbuilding career, but his colleagues did not accept working with him because he was black.

In 1845 Douglas published a book on his life story. In that same year Douglas traveled to England, but returned to the United States in 1847 and founded a weekly newspaper called the North Star.

In 1881 he was appointed by US President James Garfield as registrer of real estate for the District of Columbia; then he became Plenipotentiary Minister in Haiti.
