Identify and write the claim Douglass makes. "What, to the American slave, is your Fourth
of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him,
more than all other days in the year, the gross
injustice and cruelty to which he is the
constant victim. To him, your celebration is a
sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license;
your national greatness, swelling vanity; your
sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless;
your denunciation of tyrants, brass-fronted
impudence; your shouts of liberty and
equality, hollow mockery."
