His master

Who was Frederick Douglass's father?

1/3

He had to literally walk through a gate to get to the house, so he remembers it that way.

Up until this point, he had been free. This is the moment where he became a slave.

This is the point where he understood more fully what it meant to be enslaved.

Why does Douglass call the first beating he witnessed the "blood-stained gate" to slavery?

2/3

The mistress would hate the child and the master would be required to beat his own child just like any other slave if he kept him/her.

The master would sell the child and the mother together, so it was the only way to keep them together.

He would ensure the child went to a kind master.

Why does Douglass say a master selling a slave who is his biological child is the most humane thing he could do for the child?
