He was tall and skinny and notoriously stern-looking. And he also had some very strong ideas about abolishing slavery, ideas which brought him into close contact with another very visible public figure: Frederick Douglass. Douglass was born a slave but escaped in 1838 and became one of the central figures in the American abolitionist movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLincoln and Douglass\u003c\/i\u003e offers a glimpse into the unusual friendship between two great American leaders.
