What was Frederick Douglass?

American abolitionist, orator, author, social reformer, and statesman Frederick Douglass was a writer also. He became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York after fleeing slavery in Maryland. He was famous for his oratory and cutting antislavery writings. He was therefore referred to by abolitionists of his time as a living refutation of the claims made by slaveholders that slaves lacked the intelligence to be independent American citizens. The idea that such a renowned orator having once been a slave was difficult for Northerners to accept at the time. Because of this skepticism, Douglass authored his first autobiography.

Because he wants the reader to understand the true meaning and emotion behind the slaves' singing, Douglass meticulously describes the songs that they sing. Because Douglass says that they weren't singing out of joy, the slave owners assumed that since they were singing, the slaves must be joyful.
