Unit 9 Discussion Board:

For this forum looks at the excerpt from the 4th of July speech by Frederick Douglass. It can be found in the materials on abolitionism for this unit.

What is your reaction to this speech? What does it tell you about society or about Douglass?

What ideals from the beginnings of the United States does Douglass invoke?

When have these ideals been used at other times in America’s past to fight injustice in America? Are there ways in which these same ideals are used to fight injustice today?

If you are having trouble with any of the questions above, you can answer this one: Do you consider what Douglass says here patriotic or anti-American?
