Frederick Douglass:

In the spring of 1836, Douglass returned to Baltimore where Hugh Auld found him work in a local shipyard as a caulker’s apprentice. Alud collected all of Douglass’s wages. In the shipyard, Douglass took notice of how harmoniously the free blacks, slaves, and white men worked together, this however, was short lived. The white men were afraid of their employers push them out of their jobs in order to higher more black men at lower pay. Hostility grew and eventually broke. In one particular instance Douglass was attacked by four white men, all workers at the shipyard, all armed with rocks, hand spikes and sticks. They beat him until he could no longer move. Hugh Auld, indescribably angered by the damage of his property, arranged for Douglass to work in another shipyard. That is where, over the course of another year, he learned to caulk.
