"Read his July.4h, 1852 Address, he defends the Decleration and the Constitution as wonderful Freedom documents, and call the nation to live up to them."

I have read the address! It's a fantastic oratory.(Notwithstanding my straightforward presentation) At this point its up to nearly 200,000 views. (FWIW, not my personal YouTube channel)

Douglass also eagerly debated the Constitution itself with many people, arguing that the Constitution is anti-slavery, and tore to pieces arguments we deal with today about the 3/5ths clause and many other aspects. (FWIW, this is my YouTube page)

Many on the left try to claim Frederick Douglass as their own. In the details, there's not a shred of Douglass they could claim.

Let us not forget that Frederick Douglass was a Preacher. That's how he got so good at speaking. He did so every Sunday morning speaking about The Lord.

I would be very interested in hearing what sort of argument he came up with to claim that Article IV, Section 2 (The fugitive slave clause of the US Constitution) was "anti-slavery."

Both.

This is what happens when a document is written by a committee.
