no, he wasn't--and i doubt he had any interest in the income tax. do you mean the 13th amendment?

No, Douglas died in 1895 and the 16th Amendment (income tax) was ratified in 1913. Did you mean the 13th Amendment ?

He was born in 1818 and died February 1885. His book 'Narrative of the LIfe if Fredererick Douglass, an American Slave' would tell you more about his life. See http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Literature/Douglass/Autobiography/ to read the text online.
