My Friend Douglass
by Russell Freedman
On the morning of March 4, 1865, Frederick Douglass joined a festive crowd of 30,000 spectators
at the U. S. Capitol to witness Abraham Lincoln's second inauguration. Weeks of rain had turned
Washington's unpaved streets into a sea of mud, but despite the wet and windy weather, the crowd
was in a mood to celebrate. Union troops were marching victoriously through the South. Everyone
knew that the war was almost over. When Lincoln's tall figure appeared, "cheer upon cheer arose,
bands have imagined. The "cause of the war" was slavery, Lincoln declared. Slavery was the one
institution that divided the nation. And slavery was a hateful and evil practice-a sin in the sight of
