Question

I would, sometimes, say to them, while seated on a curbstone or a cellar door, “I wish I could be free, as you will be when you get to be men.” “You will be free, you know, as soon as you are twenty-one, and can go where you like, but I am a slave for life. Have I not as good a right to be free as you have?”
In the passage from My Bondage and My Freedom, Frederick Douglass remembers conversations with his white playmates. How did the boys respond to such questions?

Answer 1

They question Fredrick Douglas's point of view and his mind set of slavery and being free

Answer 2

Answer:

They agreed with Douglass on the condemnation of slavery.

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass was an excellent orator, he could express himself well, in addition to living the harmful effects of slavery, he could use his experiences to convince people that the slavery system was cruel and insane, and that slaves were people who were born free and who did not deserve this kind of treatment. Before such a great orator, it was difficult for anyone not to agree with Douglas's thoughts, so his white colleagues, after hearing him speak, began to condemn slavery.
