Answer:
The two words that emphasize hardships are: "callous" and "bloody."
Explanation:
This is an excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave. Douglass would go one to escape slavery in Maryland and become a national figure in the abolitionist movement and becoming an important social reformer, orator, and writer. He also served in positions like a United States Marshall and a Recorder of Deeds. His voice had been important to the development of the abolitionist movement and for the subsequent historical understanding of the anti-slavery movement and the reconstruction era. The word callous gives the sense that slaves endured repeated physical abuses at the hands of their owners and bloody also reflects that there are still new wounds inflicted repeatedly and frequently.
"Fertile," as in fertile soil or fertile land, means that the soil and land is rich in nutrients for plants, and therefore is good for farming crops.
