 Frederick Douglass's narrative is a biography of his own life when he was a young slave living in Baltimore. He expresses that he felt fortunate to live in the city, instead of living in plantations, since by living in the city, he was treated better and it was an easier place to escape freedom. In the countryside, slaves were often brutally whipped and rarely given enough food or clothing. However, slave owners in the city would have been ashamed that their neighbors had seen their slaves without food or clothing. In the city, Douglass learns to read and meets a wide variety of people who help him on his path to freedom: white children who help him learn to read and write, sailors who teach him a trade, and people of the North, that make him see that not all whites own slaves.

balandron [24]

Answer:

The statement that is not true is:

A. Anne revised and published her diary after the war.

Explanation:

Anne Frank and her family received help during the second World War to hide from the Nazi army. During their time in hiding, Anne wrote her famous diary. Unfortunately, Anne did not survive the hideous war. Their hiding place was discovered, and Anne was taken to a concentration camp where she died of typhus in 1945. Her diary was saved by one of the people who helped hide the Frank family and then given to Anne's father, Otto, the only survivor of the family. With that in mind, we can choose as the false statement letter A. Anne revised and published her diary after the war.
