Douglass uses Logos in chapter one to show that the line of Ham who was cursed by God to be enslaved is no longer true. He explains that with the mixing of blood during slavery days the slaves were not in the family tree of Ham thanks to their white fathers. This statement brought about a change of mind during the book through logic to show that the slaves should no longer be enslaved.

He uses Ethos to show and strengthen his credibility. When he uses this quote in the middle of page three, it proves that all he is saying could be true and that this is what is happening to all of the slaves. By writing this novel, he wants everyone to know all the horrors that the slave saw and felt.

Douglass uses Pathos in the first chapter of the novel to show that at a young age slaves were taken from their mothers and any knowledge about the father was not know. When Douglass uses pathos, he shows it through what it was like for the child slaves and how their lives never knew the things that every other child knew when they grew up like who their parents were.

Douglass uses Logos to show that the line of Ham is no longer true and that slavery is no longer right. He starts by saying "If the lineal descendants of Ham are alone to be scriptural enslaved...slavery at the south must soon become unscriptural...like myself, owe their existence to white fathers"(Douglass 3).

Douglass uses Pathos more than he uses the other appeals. He first talks about his mother and says "My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant--before i knew her as my mother"(Douglass 1). Douglass' father is another matter and he says "she left me without the slightest intimation of who my father was"(Douglass 2).
