How long does Douglass live with the Aulds?

Frederick Douglass lived with the Auld family for about seven years, from around 1838 to 1845. He was initially hired by Hugh Auld in Baltimore, where he experienced a more favorable environment than in the rural South. However, the Aulds were still slave owners, and Douglass eventually sought his freedom, leading to his escape in 1838. His experiences with the Aulds played a significant role in shaping his views on slavery and education.
