All these, in the end, support his overall position to end slavery. Through the use of his story, Douglass was attempting to show and reveal the truth in the emotions of slavery from both a slave's perspective and that of a slaveholder. He wrote his story in hope that people of today understand the truth behind slavery, and all the consequences faced because some thought it was best. He was hoping that white men, who were powerful at the time, would read, understand what he was trying to tell them, and join the abolitionist side, and without out Douglass we could, very much, still be lost in the bonds of slavery. To remind humans of the torture it was on mankind, and how the slaves fought for their rights. Lastly,  giving one last final piece of advice to never give up. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. - Frederick Douglass]]> 2019-02-25 13:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ndjumani2/s7dl0ae9s6sa/wish/334822879 ndjumani2 https://padlet.com/ndjumani2/s7dl0ae9s6sa/wish/334822922 Hook: It's depressing to look back on slavery knowing that in 1810, 33.25% of the southern states' overall  population was enslaved; however, then decreased as of 1860, when  32.27 % of the the southern states' overall population was enslaved.
