As you have read Fredrick Douglass was the "Conscience of our Nation". He stood up for what he believed and achieved what he wanted. The writers are like Douglass because they are all bold, determined, and brave. They achieve what they want. The writers are unlike Douglass because Douglass was a slave and had to runaway being scared he would be taken back into slavery. We today do not have to do that and probably would not run away. In the above you read about Fredrick Douglass’ younger years, middle years, and his older years. You also read about how the writers and Fredrick Douglass are alike and unalike. Fredrick Douglass is a great person and hero. He will always be remembered for helping to bring America out of slavery.
