In your paper, please discuss the following:
Frederick Douglass defines freedom as more than escape from the slaveholders. What is
freedom according to Douglass and how does he achieve it?
Douglass maintains that slavery dehumanized both the slave and slaveholder. Quoting
specific passages in the Narrative support this thesis with examples.
How does Douglass evolve from a young slave boy into a fully-realized man and human
being? William Lloyd Garrison, a famous abolitionist, said, “A black man can escape
from the South, but he can never escape from slavery.” In your opinion, does Douglass’
Narrative corroborate (confirm) this sentiment or does it dispute it? Make sure to cite
specific examples from the Narrative and address each question.
