First published in 1845, the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass became Frederick Douglass's most well-known work. It is as the name implies his autobiography.
Frederick Douglass was born a slave and underwent horrendous treatment at the hands of his owners. He later escaped to the north and became an outspoken abolitionist. Not only did he have a great life story to tell, his skill in telling it has long been admired. Douglass travelled throughout Europe lecturing about slavery.
After publication, the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass quickly became a best seller and within three years there were over 11,000 copies published in the United States, had been reprinted nine times and had been translated into two languages (Dutch and French). The book was so well written that some argued that an ex-slave could not be as articulate as Frederick Douglass demonstrated himself to be. Of course, Douglass did write the book and it stands today as a monument to the human spirit and what may be achieved with hard work no matter where in society somebody may begin.
Frederick Douglass had to leave the United States and flee to Ireland for a period after the books publication and its immediate success for some believed that Douglas' ex-owner Hugh Auld might try to get his "property" returned. After two years he was able to return to the United States after his freedom was purchased for $710 from Auld.
If you are interested in learning about the life of a great man who rose above his birth as a slave and became one of the greatest literary figures in American history, the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is the book to read.

Thank you so much

Thank you
This is probably one of the best books I've been made to "read" as part of university course dictations. So interesting and horrifying all at once.
Exam on this tmr, haven't read it yet, this is coming in clutch, just sat down and listened to the whole thing
Same bruh

I had to listen to it on x2 and it’s still understandable

I read this in jail and enjoyed it a great deal. He was a slave quite a long time before he finally decided to make a break for it. He even beat up one of his "masters" (who was absolutely terrible). He would see boats in the harbor and wonder what it would be like to be on one heading north. He once said, "I spend my life praying to God to set me free, but nothing happened until I prayed with my legs). I believe he was also married to a white lady (if I remember correctly) which was quite progressive for the time.
This book should be made required reading for every student during the 10, 11, or 12th grade.
I have to read it now since I am going into honors English for 9th grade. It is still a good book though.
Thank you for uploading this!🤍
My pleasure!
BIG TIP: read this book a few days before your test read one half one day and the other the other day I’m reading this 8 hours before my test and it sucks 😂
Thank you for uploading an audiobook, this a required reading for me and I don’t have time to read it

This was beautifully written and I really enjoyed how the words flowed and felt like a story and conversation
However every hard R word drop would actually take me out and caught me off guard every time 😭

I believe that we all can gain some true knowledge and an understanding as to are own ways in which we have slaved and enslaved those from which were to be the unfortunate and were closest round, and also to are selves efficient in ways of doubt and negativity capable only tobe amount able, only fears insecurities into selfish mutilation. This has surely made me more conscientious of my capabilities and responsibilities to first myself,never stop being who I'am. But also to everyone around to reflect and bring about more of those of us who are capable and inspire to speak out. Truly and sincerely Le'Anna E. Leahy❤ please read listen and stand-up we all together can make changes to make a difference thank you Dave Chappell ❤❤❤😊
John Locke's theory of tabula rasa, or the "blank slate," posits that every individual is born with a mind devoid of innate knowledge, and that experiences and perceptions inscribe knowledge and understanding onto this mental canvas. While Locke's theory aptly characterizes the cognitive development of those born outside the shackles of slavery, a poignant divergence emerges when considering children born into bondage. In their case, it is the dearth of experiences that etches the contours of their cognitive landscape.
Frederick Douglass's vivid narrative serves as a compelling testament to this nuanced interpretation. Deprived of the fundamental markers of childhood, such as birthdays, Douglass shares a palpable longing for the simple knowledge of his own age, which serves as a poignant reminder of the stark void in his formative experiences. As he laments, "By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant" (Douglass 12). This enforced ignorance, far from being incidental, becomes a deliberate act of erasure, rendering the enslaved not only bereft of their autonomy but also robbing them of the very fabric of their identity.
Furthermore, Douglass's narrative unveils the heart-wrenching rupture of the maternal bond within the crucible of slavery. The forced separation of a child from their mother, a practice wielded with brutal efficiency, serves a dual purpose: to thwart the natural affection between parent and child, and to dampen the child's capacity to forge emotional connections. As Douglass poignantly observes, "The child is placed under the care of an old woman, too old for field labor. For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it be to hinder the development of the child’s affection toward its mother, and to blunt and destroy the natural affection of the mother for the child" (Douglass 12). Here, the enforced alienation becomes the chisel that sculpts the contours of an individual's emotional landscape.
Perhaps most heart-rending is Douglass's poignant recounting of his mother's passing, which underscores the brutalizing impact of slavery on familial bonds. Estranged from her nurturing presence, his bereavement is a stark testament to the obliteration of the natural affections that should have bound them. He reflects, "Never having enjoyed, to any considerable extent, her soothing presence, her tender and watchful care, I received the tidings of her death with much the same emotions I should have probably felt at the death of a stranger" (Douglass 13). In this wrenching admission, Douglass reveals how the very essence of familial connection, the cornerstone of human experience, was systematically dismantled.
In conclusion, Frederick Douglass's narrative lays bare the profound implications of Locke's theory of tabula rasa within the crucible of slavery. Far from being a passive receptacle waiting to be inscribed, the enslaved mind is actively shaped by the cruel negations of experience. Through the deliberate erasure of birthdays, the severance of maternal bonds, and the callous disregard for familial ties, slavery does not merely blot out the canvas of a child's mind, but it etches upon it a harrowing tale of absence and deprivation. Douglass's narrative, therefore, serves as a poignant testament to the resilience of the human spirit, which, even in the direst of circumstances, seeks to reclaim its agency and reconstruct its own narrative.

The saddest part about this book is that before his words were even to be considered he had to find “white” to preface his words and give credence to them. Like what he went through isn’t enough to make it worth while…it had to be “white approved” first.

To all of the non-color people and the ignorance of people of color that come from The ancestral community of Africa who were enslaved and placed in bondage during the antebellum era need to take a moment to think about the share solitude and ungratified on gratification that people color endured during this time. Chattel slavery was one of the worst and barbaric forms of enslavement in all world history and that is why so many people colored and white are interested and the notion and the stories on the plate that black people have been plagued with throughout years and centuries of time. The story that Frederick Douglass tells a story of his own from his own words no exaggerations no observance know reluctance to think or a history that has been dug up out the ground these things are coming directly from knowledge and know-how and he was subjected to the most gruesome and horrible and heartbreaking forms of slavery known to mankind. The things that these people went through are probably a hundred percent worse than what we hear or see on television keep in mind a lot of these books that have been so-called written directly from the slaves themselves have been falsified and water down so that the consumer will not be allowed to imagine the full intent and withdrawnbehavior and attributes that these people have been suffered from. To see and witness such things as a young child will forever haunt you you will be fearful of everything until you yourself have escaped the horrors of hell. The stories and autobiographies that were actually written by the slaves themselves tells very very graphic and detailed notions about the master the overseer and the slave and what happened and how these peoples lives were to be deliberately miserable deliberately evil and deliberately gruesome a lot of slave masters and Mistresses oftentimes made a mockery out of the young slaves as well as Yoder such as putting buckets of water on their heads and making them dance for sheer fun and share evilness hoping and praying that a morsel just one piece were drop of water would fall from the bucket so that she herself could enjoy watching the child be beaten half to death that is what I call evil that is what I call wicked and for you as white people to say that we do not deserve reparations after the long trauma and plate that our ancestors have went through that are clearly devastating and clearly been passed down through generations by showing other generations what and what not to do through the customs beliefs and teachings of the enslaved ancestors things have been passed down for many and centuries for my elders and they have gotten it from their elders and so forth and so on I say and this time and time now white people are some of the wickedest evil is nastiest people on Earth they mean people of color no good no good when I see my brother's walking along a thing such as a white woman who has been described as this gentle rules and delicate petal. That shall not be disturbed in any manner for she will be broken because she is so delicate sweet and heavenly when all the while she is still total opposite she was the meanest cruelest evilest malicious and sheer😂 demon of the black women slaves that they preyed upon and thus their husbands which is Master oftentimes forced himself upon these women sleeves and in return he himself had set in love with these women slave for that happening the one in slave will suffer at the hands of that stir to show his solitude and endearment to his white wife mistress so she often times will come down from her cellar and watch the women's sleeve be beaten until she was almost on alive the cruel position that white women played in the antebellum slave error is nothing short of what the master did and almost if not worse than master and overseer for they often times have been described as analyzing small children for just crying for they have been disguised as this sweet person and in return they would force the black male slaves to sexually please them whenever however and wherever make no mistakes a lot of Mistresses and a lot of their young women children were pregnant with the offspring's from slaves that they had him sold off and did what they were with that male slave he was forced to do so for he was very very terrified if he had got caught she did not care she forced him the reason why no sleeves of color were in demand for Mistresses is because the way Master describe them and magazines and brochures when acting them for sale it was frequently done with care and to detail how strong how increasingly powerful and how long and strong their penises were and these white women fantasize about this for weeks to come until she set her plan in motion. Black male slaves were taken advantage of just like black female slaves and I don't think people realize how much damage has been done to a community of people all over the world that are want ancestral ve background comes from the Afric😂an, but they were in constant companionship with with men and women of color for the sheer enjoyment of sexual pleasure among other things. White people in European people are some of the worst people on Earth by no ends a lot of them still exist for their forefathers are the same people that invited themselves to my ancestors. And these people have been taught from generation to generation not to like people of color and that people of color will never amount to the human being that they are and we are third-class citizens among everybody else white people do not like black people

Is anyone bricked

Now does reparations make sense to any of you, on top of all that you had to deal with your family being auctioned off, never to be heard from again, that's exactly what we've had to deal with and are dealing with today.
Reparations from 2023 white Americans to 2023 black Americans doesn't make sense. It's arbitrary and punishes innocent people while solving nothing (free money has never solved anything--only makes things worse---look at welfare and everything else the government does). It also creates tremendous racial division and resent. It's unjust. All of out ancestors went through terrible things. Worry about doing the right thing today. Worry about the only thing you can change: yourself. Scapegoating and resent are toxic.
@@kevinjackson4933 It didn't make sense initially to work, murder, and sell others ancestors it's you who happens to not make a damn bit of sense take back to wherever it is your from your opinion means absolutely not a damn thing.
That’s a great idea only if that happens then Native Americans will need reparations first and land back. What will that leave the USA with? That would also have to happen to Mexicans as the USA broke the treaty of Guadalupe guaranteeing the land and citizenship of Mexicans who were on USA territory before the USA owned the land. Realistically it will never happen. Every race has been involved in horrible sad situations and African Americans were not the first to be enslaved

Guys, I need to ask y’all something ... and I want y’all to be totally honest with me, it might be awkward with all us after this but I have to know how y’all feel, I have kept this in for a while and it's about time I was straight up and just confront you about it, l hope this doesn't ruin the relationship we all already have, I just need to know and I don't see any other way to get over this, it just doesn't seem fair to me if I don't get an answer, l want y’all to tell me truthfully, no matter what it is, I just want y’all’s honest opinion... do y’all know the muffin man??
