Frederick Douglass
In chapter # Frederick Douglass describes his life in the “Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass” after he was enslaved; he was wondering if his father was his master or not. He didn’t spend so much time with his mother. His grandmother raised him. Before his father died, his mother usually came to see him after her fieldwork. At sunset, she came and spent that time with his son. By sunrise, his mother would go until evening. By his description, he didn’t spend much time with his mother. His mother died when he was seven years old. Even though people were in slavery, at least, when a woman gave birth to a child, they could spend time together as mother and son or daughter so they could have that strong relationship with their moms. Later, we can see how the enslaved people were treated poorly by their masters. The enslaved person was whipped until they were bleeding. When they tried to run away after their master caught them, they got beaten up by their master, and the enslaved person was not allowed to run away from their enslaver. From chapter # IV, From chapter # V to # VI, after Frederick went to Baltimore, throughout his slavery time, he started to learn how to read and write. His time in Baltimore was a rough thought because he was going back and forth between his old places and Baltimore. Because his master died, he should live based on the evaluation that the enslaver agreed to. As a result, he went back to Baltimore after the evaluation. By the time he spent his life in Baltimore, he had become an abolitionist who could fight for the end of slavery because people suffered from slavery. The question is, like slavery abolitionists in the same situation as Frederick Douglass?
You were supposed to pick a specific passage. I actually don’t think that most mothers were given an opportunity to bond with their babies. The policy of separating families prevented those strong attachments from forming.
