frederick douglass Think about a situation in which it is illegal to get an education. Compare this to Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. What was Frederick Douglass willing to do for an education?
@Arcadiouse help, if you know pls ;-;
Idk lol
@Arcadiouse *sign* okie :(
Ok, lets do this.
You do know who Fredrick is though right?
Yess!
Why do you think education would be important for him?
his education clearly does help him become free
Ok, as I am sure you know, education was bad for slaves to have back then because slave owners felt if the slaves were educated they would try to escape and more. So what were the dangers you think he was willing to take?
Uhh, alot o_o
Yes but what do you think he was willing to do for an education?
to escape to freedom?
Yes, among other things. But the question is what do you think he was willing to do
Idk ;-; Thats why im asking you for some help
Well, understand, having an education during this time period was very important. So, he was probably willing to be caught and in deep trouble. He probably hid a lot of the materials he learned from. I read that he had some books that he read to learn Greek Mythology and such.
Ohh i see okay okay ty.
