One of the central ideas of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is that owning enslaved people ultimately makes slavehol
ders inhuman. In a well-developed response of one paragraph, describe how Douglass develops and supports this central idea, citing specific evidence from the text and exploring how Douglass makes connections between key events and the central idea in your response. Here is the textbook if you need it:
At the time in our history when there were slave owners, it was part of our culture to own slaves to help with the labor on farms. It did not make slave owners INHUMAN. It was part of the culture of the times. Maybe not the best part of our culture but was accepted by millions of people and I dont think there were millions of people that were INHUMAN. It was part of our history and we learned from the mistakes of the past. As our culture and society change so do the beliefs and acceptable societal norms. Sometimes for the better sometimes for the worst. Hopefully, most of the time for the better.
