- 8 years ago
Given at the annual meeting of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society days before the end of the Civil War, Douglass argues in favor of suffrage for Blacks, as well as equality, rather than generosity.
Douglass wants Blacks to be allowed to fail or succeed on their own.
He also points out the irony that Blacks have been considered citizens in time of war but aliens in time of peace.
