Every tone was a testimony against slavery, and a prayer to God for deliverance from chains."

I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old."

Douglass even uses such powerful words as "woe" and "anguish". Their description causes readers to feel sympathetic towards the slaves. They are, thereafter, more likely to agree with Douglass' goal, which is the abolition of slavery. ]]> 2018-01-17 21:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/308121/3su2nn8w06yx/wish/222248031 308121 https://padlet.com/308121/3su2nn8w06yx/wish/222248087 This is Douglass' counterargument to the Biblical contention that was commonly used at the time. He asserts that even though Ham was cursed in scripture, the growing population of mulatto children in America were no longer his direct descendants. Therefore, they were no longer bound to slavery by God. Douglass applies this reasoning in his work to convince readers rationally that slavery should be abolished. ]]> 2018-01-17 21:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/308121/3su2nn8w06yx/wish/222248087 308121 https://padlet.com/308121/3su2nn8w06yx/wish/222248226 Douglass begins his narrative by describing one of the most basic truths of his life: that he had been a slave. He even explains that he was ignorant of his own age, and that he never truly knew his mother due to his bondage. As a former slave, Douglass is among the highest authority on life as a slave. It is for this reason that readers are able to trust more of what he writes. ]]> 2018-01-17 21:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/308121/3su2nn8w06yx/wish/222248226
