Thanks for ping. Frederick Douglas was a great man. He had first hand experience of being a black slave on a plantation, with harsh whippings and brutal treatment. He rose above it to become a brilliant voice for his people and for America. A truly great American. Thanks again for sharing his thoughts on the Constitution and it’s role in Slavery.

Here I agree with you. I have read his account of how he learned to read and how he escaped slavery, and he is indeed a very impressive fellow.
