Frederick Douglass ( ) What to the slave is the Fourth of July? (1852) By: Miguel Flores

Historical Context: Frederick Douglass Biography Born 1818 Near Easton Maryland Leader of the abolitionist movement Brilliant speaker Founder of the antislavery newspaper “North Star” Served as advisor to President Lincoln during the Civil War. Died 1895 Intended Audience is the White American People.

Main Points The Fourth of July is important to the white American people, but a mockery to the black people. – You high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance, between us. The blessings in which you this day rejoice are not enjoyed in common. The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity, and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not me. The sunlight that brought sunlight and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. – A day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, and unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless: you denunciations of tyrants, brass-fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; are to him mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy

Main Points It is obvious that slaves are human, and not just property. – On what branch of the subject do the people of this country need light? Must I undertake to prove that the slave is a man? That point is conceded already. Nobody doubts it. The slaveholders themselves acknowledge it in the enactment of laws for their government.

Main Points. There is not a nation on earth more barbarous or hypocritical than America is at this very moment. – Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the old world, travel through South American, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay the facts side by side, and you will say with me, that, for barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America Reigns with out a rival.

Historical Significance It articulated the argument against slavery. It also advanced the cause of the abolitionist.
