Quote 1:"We were worked in
all weathers. It was never too hot or too cold; it could never rain,
blow, hail, or snow too hard for us to work in the field. Work,
work, work, was scarcely more the order of the day than of the
night. The longest days were too short for him, and the shortest
nights too long for him. I was somewhat unmanageable when I
first went there, but a few months of this discipline tamed me.
Mr. Covey succeeded in breaking me. I was broken in body, soul,, and spirit."

Quote 2:"On the one hand, there stood slavery, a stern reality, glaring
frightfully upon us,—its robes already crimsoned with the blood
of millions, and even now feasting itself greedily upon our own
flesh. On the other hand, away back in the dim distance, under
the flickering light of the north star, behind some craggy hill or
snow-covered mountain, stood a doubtful freedom—half frozen—"

Quote 1:"He would whip her to make her scream, and whip her to
make her hush; and not until overcome by fatigue, would
he cease to swing the blood-clotted cowskin. I remember
the first time I ever witnessed this horrible exhibition. I
was quite a child, but I well remember it. I never shall
forget it whilst I remember any thing. It was the first of a
long series of such outrages, of which I was doomed to be a
witness and a participant. It struck me with awful force. It
was the blood-stained gate, the entrance to the hell of
slavery, through which I was about to pass. It was a most
terrible spectacle."

Quote 2:"I have seen
him whip a woman, causing the blood to run half an hour at the
time; and this, too, in the midst of her crying children, pleading
for their mother’s release. He seemed to take pleasure in
manifesting his fiendish barbarity." 2]]> 2019-02-25 18:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rporay/6sugrs6sabgp/wish/335009462 rporay https://padlet.com/rporay/6sugrs6sabgp/wish/335009995 Topic Sentence:Lastly Douglass uses his second point, Slavery corrupts slaveholders, to support his position to end slavery."


Quote 1:"But, alas! this kind heart had but a short time to remain such.
The fatal poison of irresponsible power was already in her
hands, and soon commenced its infernal work. That cheerful
eye, under the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage;
that voice, made all of sweet accord, changed to one of harsh
and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a demon."

Quote 2:"My mistress was, as I have said, a kind and tender-hearted
woman; and in the simplicity of her soul she commenced, when
I first went to live with her, to treat me as she supposed one
human being ought to treat another. In entering upon the duties
of a slaveholder, she did not seem to perceive that I sustained to
her the relation of a mere chattel, and that for her to treat me
as a human being was not only wrong, but dangerously so.
Slavery proved as injurious to her as it did to me. When I went
there she was a pious, warm, and tender-hearted woman. There
was no sorrow or suffering for which she had not a tear. She had
bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for
every mourner that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these heavenly qualities."]]> 2019-02-25 18:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rporay/6sugrs6sabgp/wish/335009995 rporay https://padlet.com/rporay/6sugrs6sabgp/wish/335010515 Topic Sentence: Frederick Douglass made many efforts to end slavery.

For slaves in the 1800's, this was their lifestyle.
