The main idea of the narrative is that a slave is no better than an animal. In the passage, Douglass states, "I had been at my new home but one week before Mr. Covey gave me a very severe whipping, cutting my back, causing the blood to run, and raising ridges on my flesh as large as my little finger. " This shows evidence of the main idea because this is much like, almost worse than how people treated animals. Something else Douglass stated was " Upon this he rushed at me with the fierceness of a tiger, tore off my clothes, and lashed me till he had worn out his switches, cutting me so savagely as to leave the marks visible for a long time after." These are examples of unexplainable actions being done to humans. Animals get abused, but so did the slaves.

Bank and the state of Maryland cannot impose taxes or else they will violate
the Constitution.</span>
