And, to cap the climax of their base ingratitude and
fiendish barbarity, my grandmother, who was now very
old, having outlived my old master and all his children,
having seen the beginning and end of all of them, and
her present owners finding she was of but little value,
her frame already racked with the pains of old age, and
complete helplessness fast stealing over her once
active limbs, they took her to the woods, built her a little
hut, put up a little mud-chimney, and then made her
welcome to the privilege of supporting herself there in
perfect loneliness, thus virtually turning her out to die!

Fredrick Douglass wrote his own account of life in which he mentioned about the ills of slavery and about the hardships which the slaves had to undergo. He had tried to expose the cruelty of slavery which doesn't spare anyone born in a black family. He points out the idea that a slave is a form of property owned by the master and he possesses full control over him. Douglass fought for equal rights given to the Blacks to vote.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
