Why does Douglass assert his agreement with the actions of the “fathers”? Douglass asserts his agreement with the actions of founders and embraces the principles of the Revolution to create a bond with his audience and to reassure them that, to some degree at least, he participates in the American political tradition.

Douglass’s goals were to “abolish slavery in all its forms and aspects, promote the moral and intellectual improvement of the COLORED PEOPLE, and hasten the day of FREEDOM to the Three Millions of our enslaved fellow countrymen.” How else did Douglass promote freedom?

Frederick Douglass escaped from slavery on September 3, 1838, aided by a disguise and job skills he had learned while forced to work in Baltimore’s shipyards. Once Douglass made the harrowing train trip to Philadelphia he was able to move on to New York City. “My free life began on the third of September, 1838.

But this statement is ironic because, although Douglass is a citizen of the same country as his audience, he does not claim to be a fellow citizen who is allowed the same equality as his fellow white man. He opens his argument with a simple question, luring the audience by asking them to question their own motivations.

Why would both groups be sadder if the nation were older? They rejected “the infallibility of government,” “pronounced the measures of government unjust, unreasonable, and oppressive,” and sided with “the right against the wrong, with the weak against the strong, and with the oppressed against the oppressor.”

What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim.

A subjective claim, on the other hand, is not a factual matter; it is an expression of belief, opinion, or personal preference. A subjective claim cannot be proved right or wrong by any generally accepted criteria. An objective claim may be true or false; just because something is objective does not mean it is true.

An opinion is a belief that something is, but is not proven. Opinions can be based on experience, judgment, and impressions or on nothing but an intuition, a prejudice or on nothing at all. A claim is statement about something, what it is or what it can do.

Explanation: The interpretation that the physical evidence links to the defendant is a claim. The fact supports the claim.

A fact claim is a statement about how things were in the past, how they are in the present, or how they will be in the future. A fact claim is not a fact; it only claims to be a fact.
