           Fredrick Douglas gave a speech known as his "4th of July" speech. In this speech he addresses the question "what to a slave is the 4th of July?" His expresses his disapproval for slavery in the united states and their celebrations of the 4th of July magnifiy that. He find it very important to remind the country behind their celebration the black enslaved people are very adament of the injustices of America. By taking away the unalienable rights of these people, to strip them of their freedom, to seperate them from thei families, and so on, is to consider a an idea that the s;aves are less then their fellow people. Douglas says that this idea is rediculous because blacks of taken up, with the same success or more, occupations the same as their white counterparts. He says although their is no other nation in history that has made such noble claims of independence, no other nation has allowed such injustices on human lives as this one.
