Fredrick Douglass By Hana (Key Ideas (Excerpt 3 ("Under its influence…

- - - - Douglass was the only slave that was transferred to Baltimore
        
        Moved in with an unmarried mistress, who started off kind until slavery went to her head
        
        Transferred for the third time to a mistress (Mrs. Auld) that taught him until her husband (Mr. Auld) told he it wasn’t allowed and she become desperate for control
        
        Because of Mrs. Auld teaching him his abc’s he taught the rest to himself
        
        Envied his fellow slaves for their “stupidity”
  - - - Douglass is moved to a temporary plantation (Mr. Covey) to be “disciplined”
        
        Douglass got sick on the job and instead of helping him Mr. Covey abused him until he got back up
        
        He went to another slaves wifes home and was given a “magical” root
        
        Fought back against Mr.covey when he had the root
  - - - The slaves sang in order to express emotions of sadness and to communicate with other slaves (usually how to escape)
        
        The overseer Mr. Severe is very unsympathetic and abuses the slaves at his will
        
        Slaves sang in order to express deep emotions of sadness, communicate with other slaves, and for survival
  - - - -Slaves are kept ignorant, they aren’t told their age, the date, and aren’t able to read
        
        -At a young age most slaves are separated from their parents
        
        -Douglass’s mom was like a stranger to him
        
        -Slave children are treated differently than adults
  - - - Frederick Douglass and the rest of his fellow slaves decided to escape and have made a thorough plan to execute that.
      - Someone, probably one of the slaves, told the master of the plantation about their plan.
      - Douglas and a few other slaves were brought in front of men to interrogate them on if their plan was real.
      - One of the slaves that was brought in front of them refused to me tied up and was beaten.
      - Douglass was found innocent.
- - - - "The whole six month afterwards that I spent with Mr. Covey, he never laid the weight of his finger upon me in anger."
        His actions benefitted him in the future. If he hadn't stood up to Mr. Covey the outcome would have been him being injured and mentally broken down.
- - - - Although slavery was abolished former slaves suffered from all of the abuse they had handled that had taken a tole on their mental and physical state
      - Because of racial bias still going on after slavery, that still goes on today, it was extremely hard for African Americans to find sustainable jobs.
    - - Slaves weren't thought of as people, but as animals. Most of them were abused daily and weren't shown any mercy.
      - Since it was so common for people to trade or own slaves it didn't seem as morally wrong as it currently does.
