The source gives a detailed analysis and account of the life of Fredrick Douglass, from his early life as a slave, to how he rose as an abolitionist fighting against slave trade and the eradication of what they thought was a barbaric act. IT also illustrates the battles Frederick Douglass had to champion against even after the abolition of slave trade. It was important to get the pertinent issues affecting the society at that time and to also give the people hope and optimism that better situations were ahead. Only if, they were bold enough to correct the system whenever they felt and knew they were not headed in the right direction.

The book is a short book, but has an incredible and a powerful message. Fredrick Douglass faces horrifying oppressions and he managed to conquer and emerged stronger than he thought. Slavery and hardship did not make him lose sight of the great prize that he clearly understood could come with freedom. He lived an extraordinary life as a slave and as a former slave. He yearned for literacy as he understood that to save himself from bondage he had to be literate. The article demonstrates Fredrick Douglass as a brilliant and an intelligent freedom fighter. His life and mind in particular play significant roles in American history.
