were there any famous african american men living in the north between 1790-1860?

Question

Either slave or freed.

Answer 1

Frederick Douglass , whom matches what you are looking for, was an American abolitionist, editor, orator, author, statesman and reformer. Called "The Sage of Anacostia" and "The Lion of Anacostia," Douglass was one of the most prominent figures of African American history during his time, and one of the most influential lecturers and authors in American history.
Nat Turner, though he never lived in the north is otherwise a famous african-american male in the context of the time you seek, (October 2, 1800 – November 11, 1831) was an American slave whose failed slave rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia, was the most remarkable instance of black resistance to enslavement in the antebellum southern United States. His methodical slaughter of white civilians during the uprising made him a controversial figure, but he is still considered by many to be a heroic figure of black resistance to oppression.
Harriet Tubman (c. 1820–March 10, 1913), also known as "Black Moses," "Grandma Moses," or "Moses of Her People," was an African-American abolitionist, though not a man. An escaped slave, she made 19 voyages into the deep South and helped over 300 slaves escape to Canada. During her lifetime she worked as a lumberjack, laundress, nurse, and cook. As an abolitionist, she acted as intelligence gatherer, refugee organizer, raid leader, nurse, and fundraiser.

Answer 4

It sounds like it may actual be interesting--a ruin from the common American Indian tale. The differing cultures somewhat make it look interesting, and that i´d choose for to appreciate how they ended up mutually (the princess and the different substantial character), and how the story seems. I´d study it.

Answer 5

Ely Whitney the inventor of the Cotton Gin?
and back then who was famous other than the war heroes?
Or presidents, and or royalty from Europe.
Fame was not as important as survival for all and most of the worshipped individuals of the past were not treated with that much honor back then or they would not have been able to live normal lives. Just think they would have had no peace, like today with all the media coverage.
