The North Star was a pioneering anti-slavery newspaper founded by Frederick Douglass and Martin R. Delany in Rochester, New York. Initially self-funded with income from Douglass' European speaking tour, it merged with The Liberty Party Paper in 1851 and later became the Douglass Monthly, covering events leading up to the Civil War and the treatment of Black soldiers. Although it ceased publication in 1863, it paved the way for Douglass' later publications, including the New National Era.
