Douglass states, "What have I, or those I represent to do with your national independence?". Instead, the Fourth of July taunts the slaves with a celebration of freedom while the slaves have none

In paragraph 1, Douglass poses the question, "What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence?" The fact that people have asked him, a former slave aware of his people still suffering under bondage, to be the orator commemorating the  nation's independence from a higher power, is sure to cause one to be resentful and bitter. The white men are concerned with their own separation from Great Britain, while even then, decades later, not all the people living in the nation are physically and mentally free, which reveals the white men's true hypocrisy. Douglass emphasizes that no man must celebrate such a day if there are still people in the world, and even in the nation, that do not experience the same rights and the same blessings of "liberty, prosperity, and independence."]]> 2017-02-28 14:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jcalabrese2/pydm3labqdit/wish/156728951 anajaib https://padlet.com/jcalabrese2/pydm3labqdit/wish/156729593 In the text, the author questions why he is "called upon to speak here today"

Douglass' claim overall, is that no one should be celebrating this holiday, because there are still groups of people, African Americans, who were still deprived of their freedom at the time. The holiday should be the celebration of the nation. Douglass himself states, "This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn." ]]> 2017-02-28 14:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jcalabrese2/pydm3labqdit/wish/156730559
