Frederick Douglass contributed to the abolition movement in the U.S. primarily by **publishing the abolitionist newspaper The North Star**. He was a prominent orator, writer, and social reformer who used his platform to advocate for the end of slavery and equal rights for all people.

While he did not write "Uncle Tom's Cabin" (that was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe), he was instrumental in the abolitionist cause and worked alongside other prominent activists during his lifetime. He did not organize the Underground Railroad nor command Black soldiers during the Mexican War (which took place before his time as a leader in the abolitionist movement). Therefore, the correct answer is his role in founding and publishing The North Star.
