b. Divided power.
We can say the following about the way Douglass describes the rivalry slaves hold and what that says about their experience and situation.
According to Douglass, the rivalry between slaves consists of them fighting about whose master is kinder. However, they do that because, if they say something bad about their master, they will be whipped.
Such a description reveals how cruel and miserable the life of a slave is. A slave needs to lie, to act happy, when all he or she knows is pain.
<h3>The life of a slave</h3>
Frederick Douglass was a former slave himself. After escaping slavery and having learned to read and write, Douglass was able to fight as an abolitionist and write conveying the horrors of slavery.
When he describes the rivalry held by slaves over their masters, he is showing how cruel and unjust life is to slaves.
Although treated as less than humans, they are forced to lie about the kindness of their masters for fear of being physically punished.
