Question:
The story below is culled from the "<em>Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass."</em>
In the afternoon of that day, we reached Annapolis, the capital of the State. We stopped but a few moments so that I had no time to go onshore. It was the first large town that I had ever seen, and thought it would look small compared with some of our New England factory villages, I thought it a wonderful place for its size – more imposing even than the Great House Farm!
Which of these is a true statement about travel during Douglass's youth?
Answer:
It was a rare occurence for any slave to go beyond the perimeters of the plantation where they were required to work and even sleep sometimes.
So the trip to Baltimore was a great privilege, one that Frederick, who had lived most of his life on the farm, found to be a refreshing experience.
Cheers
