In the past, slaves were not recognized as nothing more than property; They had no identity outside of what the master told them they were. Being born into enslavement, Frederick Douglass was a victim of this insensitive trend, but did not let it define him. He, like many slaves, did not know his father, and barely knew his mother; he only saw her a few times in his early childhood. He had a very keen mind at even a young age and took into consideration the wrong doing of the white people and…

Most school-children first learn about American slavery through history textbooks which contain dry facts. Although children are learning about history, they are still lacking another essential component. That is, they have not understood the personal experiences that slaves have been through.

Writing through such a genre allows the author enough wiggle room to add fictional…

Douglass’s Rhetorical Triangle of Slavery America was created by people seeking freedom from tyranny and injustice, yet slavery represents the complete opposite of America’s founding principles. The Bill of Rights, with all of its rights and freedoms, did not apply to slaves. Not only were they deprived of the right to free speech and property ownership, but they were also denied the rights to life, individual liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Rather, slaves were treated as property and…

political ideals are based on kindness, not full power. Frederick Douglass would have found Thomas Jefferson’s views on government to be most important. “The writer Garry Wills has suggested that Jefferson believed human life could be geared to the precision and simplicity of heaven's machinery.” This shows that Thomas Jefferson was not one of the mean slave owners that was going to beat the heck out of his slaves. This agrees with Frederick Douglass in that they both wanted…
