Read this line from the "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July? "Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration ofIndependence, extended to us?" What does Douglass imply with this question?
Answer:
Declaration of Independence in the past, but not presently.
Explanation:
From this sentence Frederick Douglas is implying that, even though the Americans have gained independence from the colonial masters, it is however, puzzling to note that there are still slaves in America, and it is a pretense belief that, Americans can be celebrating Independence, when some of her citizens (most especially colored) people are still in slavery.
