1. Significance
At a time when slave trade was at its peak, Africans deprived of
all their privileges like for example freedom of expression,
movement, right to earn wages and many more deprived from
them by the whites, Fredrick Douglass speech was very
important at that time. It not only spoke for the millions of
slaves that could not raise a voice or be heard under any
circumstances but was an eye opener to the rest of the public
about this vice, slavery. The document was also instrumental in
exposing factors that enabled this vice to thrive at that time.
The church was put on the spot light for preaching empty gospel
and seemed to be in complete support of this vice. Fredrick
also pointed an accusing finger to the government of the day for
feeling comfortable with current situation and used the
constitution to illustrate that what was going on was wrong and
should not be happening.
The document also sheds lots of light on life in the time period
it was written. To the Americans, life was rosy. They were
enjoying independence from the British crown. United States of
America governed its self under its colonies and was not
subjects to the British rule. Despite this being the situation at
that time, the Africans had nothing to celebrate. Their rights
and privileges compromised, and forced to work on the whites’
lands with no wages explains just how life was tough for them.
The presence of tough rules that would condemn the blacks to
death and the corrupt judiciary system that sided with the
whites made life even unbearable.
This vividly reveals the relationship status of the social groups
in the United States. The courts sided with the slave hunters
because of the extra tip they earned for condemning an African
to slavery. Nobody cared about the Africans, not even the
