Quote 5: "He then gave me a savage kick in the side, and told me to get up. I tried to get up, but fell back in the attempt...

Background Information: Frederick "Douglass" Bailey was a slave in the 1800's for most of his life, but once free he made a book in 1845 known as: 'The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass' where he talks about his experiences as a slave, hopefully trying to persuade the people in power to do something about slavery.
