In lines 97–110, Douglass presents a long list of things that black people are doing. Then in lines 123–130, he presents a list

of the wrongs that are done to slaves. How do these two different lists serve Douglass's purpose in giving the speech?

Douglass was always considered an intellectual activist and was very respected for the work that he was doing. In this style, he was able to infiltrate the upper epsilons of society and make real inroads towards equality.

The keyword here is equality.

Douglass first appeals to the popular rhetoric at the time that black people were responsible for many problems in society. This captures the attention of those people he wants to influence into level-headed thinkers.

He then adds a list of things that slave owners were doing to black people to draw parallels between the two sets of actions. This not only served as evidence against the hatred and vitriol suffered by so many, but will also appeal to the sympathetic and logical side of his opposition. 

His smooth writing style and elegant prose had quite the impact on proceedings at the time because he was able to make educated and balanced comparisons such as this that were irrefutable.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The local market price will form the basis of the indemnity for the live stock and implements to be expropriated.

Obstetricians are sued more often than any other physicians, and the indemnities against them can be astronomical.
