scostner 's review for:
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
by Frederick Douglass
A vivid description of what the author endured during his years as a slave. Many examples of cruelty and injustice are given in detail, beginning with the author's separation from his mother when he was only a year old. The depiction of many of the slave-owners as being considered very pious people by their peers, yet they would starve and beat their servants just shows how large a disconnect there was between the ideals of freedom and democracy and how the laws of the land actually perpetuated the opposite. Begins with a foreword from William Lloyd Garrison.
