Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave
Social Issues

Name Class Date As you read think about why Douglass argued that former slaves should be given the right to vote. I have had but one idea for the last three years to present to the American people, and the phraseol- ogy in which I clothe it is the old abolition phrase- ology. I am for the ?immediate, unconditional, and universal? enfranchisement of the black man, in every State in the Union. Without this, his liberty is a mockery; without this, you might as well almost retain the old name of slavery for his condition; for in fact, if he is not the slave of the individual master, he is the slave of society, and holds his liberty as a privilege, not as a right. He is at the mercy of the mob, and has no means of protecting himself. . .

Student Study Guide for the American Pageant CHAPTER 4 American Life in the Seventeenth Century, 1607?1692 seq NL1 \r 0 \h Chapter Summary ? Life was hard in the seventeenth-century southern colonies. Disease drastically shortened life spans in the Chesapeake region, even for the young single men who made up the majority of settlers. Families were few and fragile, with men greatly outnumbering women, who were much in demand and seldom remained single for long. The tobacco economy first thrived on the labor of white indentured servants, who hoped to work their way up to become landowners and perhaps even become wealthy. But by the late seventeenth century, this hope was increasingly frustrated, and the discontent of the poor whites exploded in Bacon?s Rebellion.
