Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: February 14, 1818 (Find a Grave; German National Library; datos.bne.es; Geni) or in February 1818 (IdRef; Douglass, Frederick (1818-1895), abolitionist, civil rights activist, and reform journalist; Encyclopædia Britannica; Archives of Maryland Biographical Series) or in February 1817 (BnF authorities).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
