Frederick Douglas uses metaphors in this chapter such as <em>“…and thereby run the hazard of closing the slightest avenue by which a brother slave might clear himself of the chains and fetters of slavery”</em> to tell the reader that enslavement is not just a restriction of liberty of one’s body but also the restriction of one’s soul. The mind of a slave is not free. Douglas also lets the reader know that even though himself is free from slavery physically, his mind and spirit is not because society did not create conditions so he can feel like a completely free man.
Frederick also mentions “<em>I have never approved of the very public manner in which some of our western friends have conducted what they call underground railroad…” </em>By underground railroad he that meant the secret and illegal routes and houses that helped slaves to escape to free cities.
He compares some men that were “money kidnappers” - men who gained money to bring back slaves who fled to nonslave states as - <em>“ferocious beasts of the forest like in wait for their prey”</em>
The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism, the third holiest site in Islam, and a revered site to Christians. To the Jews it is known as Har HaMoriyah<span> (“Mount Moriah”) and </span>Har HaBayit<span> (“Temple Mount”); to Muslims it is known as </span>Haram el Sharif<span> (“the Sacred Noble Sanctuary”). In the Bible it is also called Mount Zion (</span>Psalm 48:2<span>; </span>Isaiah 4:5<span>). Because of its importance to three major religions, its ownership has been hotly contested for nearly two thousand years. Today the Temple Mount is under the control of the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf, a trust that was established in 1187 to manage the Islamic structures in Jerusalem. Under their current rules, access to the holy sites is prohibited to all non-Muslims.</span>
The United States Government could not tax the states and therefore had no money, they could not control trade between states and states started putting tariffs and taxes on other states goods. They were treated as a United States. Not one Country. Most importantly, shown in Shay's Rebellion, they couldn't raise an army. Only ask for volunteers
