What was American slavery actually like? I trust scholars and actual slaves for the truth.
Frederick Douglass wrote three autobiographies that are easily available for anyone. How was he able to beat up his slave master without repercussions? Who paid for his freedom? How big was his influence in ending American slavery? How did he trick the white kids into teaching him how to read? Why did he say the Irish were worse off than American slaves?
Frederick Douglass was the most photographed person of his time. To this day, people have a picture of him on their wall, even in Oak Park. Why hasn’t a movie been made about his life along with other important Americans?
