Topic: Douglass also supports his view that slavery corrupts slaveholders in order to support his position to end slavery.

Quote 4: Excerpt 3, Paragraph 3: "The fatal poison of irresponsible power was already in her hands, and soon commenced its infernal work.

It opened their eyes to the cruelty and harshness. Along with the use of figurative language, Douglass uses his firsthand experience to reveal the effects of slavery on slaves and slaveowners, which supports his position to end slavery.
