douglass believes the underground railroad is not secret, which puts escaping slaves in danger.
which excerpt from narrative of the life of frederick douglass supports the inference?
"i honor those good men and women for their noble daring, and applaud them for willingly subjecting themselves to bloody persecution, by openly avowing their participation in the escape of slaves."
"we owe something to the slave south of the line as well as to those north of it; and in aiding the latter on their way to freedom, we should be careful to do nothing which would be likely to hinder the former from escaping from slavery."
"i have never approved of the very public manner in which some of our western friends have conducted what they call the underground railroad, but which i think, by their open declarations, has been made most emphatically the upper-ground railroad."
"i, however, can see very little good resulting from such a course, either to themselves or the slaves escaping; while, upon the other hand, i see and feel assured that those open declarations are a positive evil to the slaves remaining, who are seeking to escape."

Buck did not cry out. he did not check himself, but drove in upon spitz, shoulder to shoulder, so hard that he missed the throat. they rolled over and over in the powdery snow. spitz gained his feet almost as though he had not been overthrown, slashing buck down the shoulder and leaping clear. twice his teeth clipped together, like the steel jaws of a trap, as he backed away for better footing, with lean and lifting lips that writhed and snarled. read this passage. explain what the conflict shows about buck and spitz.
