Identify the author: I became one of the most famous leaders against slavery in the nineteenth century despite having been born a slave and having to escape to freedom. I taught myself to read and write even though it was against the law to teach slaves. Realizing the importance of communication, I was a powerful orator. Lincoln called me a friend. I wrote one of the significant slave narratives published 1845. Recognizing early on the importance of images, I was one of the most photographed individuals of the nineteenth century.

Identify the title: “If I could save the Union without freeing the slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do because I believes it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am hurts the cause; and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause.”
