North Star (anti-slavery newspaper)
:''For other newspapers named North Star, see North Star (disambiguation)#Newspapers''
''North Star'' was a nineteenth-century anti-slavery newspaper published in the United States by abolitionist Frederick Douglass. The paper commenced publication on December 3, 1847 and ceased as the ''North Star'' in June 1851 when it merged with Gerrit Smith's ''Liberty Party Paper'' (based in Syracuse, New York) to form ''Frederick Douglass' Paper''.〔 ''The North Stars slogan was "Right is of no Sex--Truth is of no Color--God is the Father of us all, and we are all Brethren."
== Inspiration ==
In 1845, Frederick Douglass was first inspired to publish the ''North Star'' after subscribing to ''The Liberator'', a weekly newspaper published by William Lloyd Garrison. The ''Liberator'' was a newspaper established by Garrison and his supporters founded upon moral principles.〔David B. Chesebrough, ''Frederick Douglass; Oratory from Slavery'', (Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 1998), 16-18.〕 The ''North Star'' title was a reference to the directions given to runaway slaves trying to reach the Northern states and Canada: Follow the North Star. Published weekly, the ''North Star'' was four pages long and sold by subscription at the cost of $2 per year to more than 4,000 readers in the United States, Europe, and the West Indies. The first of its four pages focused on current events concerning abolitionist issues.
The Garrisonian ''Liberator'' was founded upon the notion that the Constitution was fundamentally pro-slavery and that the Union ought to be dissolved. Douglass disagreed but supported the nonviolent approach to the emancipation of slaves by education and moral suasion.〔William S. McFeely, ''Frederick Douglass'' (New York: W.W. Norton and Company, 1991), 84-206.〕 Under the guidance of the abolitionist society, Douglass became well acquainted with the pursuit of the emancipation of slaves through a New England religious perspective.〔William S. McFeely, ''Frederick Douglass'' (New York: W.W. Norton and Company, 1991), 15-16.〕 Garrison had earlier convinced the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society to hire Douglass as an agent, touring with Garrison and telling audiences about his experiences in slavery.” Douglass worked with another abolitionist, Martin R. Delany, who traveled to lecture, report, and generate subscriptions to the ''North Star''.〔
