Collected Articles of Frederick Douglass has a bit of a poor name. When one thinks of a collection, one usually assumes more than two. However, I found these two articles to be absolutely fascinating and an absolute must-read.
"My Escape From Slavery" was absolutely enthralling and I couldn't stop reading it. I feel like I really learned from it and I feel like it's an important firsthand account to read in studying the period. "Reconstruction" came off a bit textbook-like at times, but I felt it was equally as important and that it demonstrated political feelings quite well.
I feel this collection helped me to delve a bit more into the period (my American history could be better) and more into this important historical figure. It made me want to know more and it has me looking forward to reading his autobiographies.
