American Slavery

Political Points of View American Slavery In the autobiography, The report of the Life of Frederick Douglass, writes of the Incident when he defends himself against the cruel Mr. Covey. Harriet A. Jacobs alike writes in her autobiography, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, of the time she decides to e ray of light from her owners. Spirituals were extremely ruttish songs that were often vocal by American slaves. Harriet Tubman, a famous conductor or guide that helped free slaves, was interviewed and her stories were published of what she s an abolitionist went through.One resemblance they all have is after being pushed in like manner far, they resist against their suppressors. Douglass steering of resisting injustice was defending himself against Mr. Covey. Mr. Covey was a cruel man that Douglass was contri furthere out too. l resolved to fight. what was Douglass determined as he as hurt Mr. Covey who had beat him previously day after day. I believe Frederick Douglass di d the right thing even though extremely risky. Harriet A. Jacobs too resisted injustice by escaping her owner, Mr.Flint, and oing to hide at relatives or friends houses, but closedown enough to keep an eye on her children. l groped my way tothe road.. a quote Jacobs wrote in her autobiography of when she she-bop away. Even though though risky, Jacobs escaped to try and keep her children safe. knowing that If she took them with her they would give them away or they wouldnt be touched by Mr. Flint since he believed she would return for them. Both went to hardships but found ways and the strength to rise up. Harriet Tubman created the underground railroad. which allowed many salves to scape to the free states.Tubman ,herself a former slave, was the most wanted fugitive of the time and although knowing the dangers still continued leading the underground railroad. Tubman tried to get her brothers to Join her to freedom but they refused. However, she didnt let that stop her. She wal ked off alone, quest the guidance of the brooks which she observed to run North. Many American slaves were also known to sing spirituals. Spirituals tended to have codes, or expressed on how Americans slaves unfeignedly felt about slavery. Spirituals were moving and intensely emotional songs. In a sense I feel spirituals created a sad, depressing atmosphere, since many songs were sung that way. However, many were Spirituals were extremely helpful to Tubman and others to become free. Many American slaves were too afraid to rise up, but a few did.
