Fredrick Douglass | Quick Homework Help

Need help with my History question – I’m studying for my class.

Frederick Douglass gives a vivid account of his life as a slave in the rural, plantation setting of Maryland’s Eastern Shore and in the city of Baltimore, and when his book first appeared in 1845 it caused a sensation and made Douglass a famous individual. With this in mind, please explain why Douglass wrote this book and gave such an in depth look as to his 4 experiences as a slave in the South. What was his ultimate purpose in writing this narrative? Also please explain why this book would cause such a strong reaction in both the North and South. Why was it seen as divisive or controversial? Why would Northerners care about what he had to say? Why would Southerners see it as propaganda designed to dishonor them? Please answer these questions using your resources from this class and feel free to draw on not only Douglass’s account but also the material on antebellum slavery covered in both the textbook and in lecture. Indeed, you will need to refer to both your textbook and other sources from the class to help support your argument. Please note: ? Your essay should not attempt to answer all of these questions as you would tackle a laundry list, covering each and every question, one by one. Instead, you should approach them as a prompt to get you thinking about what Douglass was trying to do in his narrative. In short, you should aim to produce a coherent essay that addresses the general theme of the prompt as a whole.
