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

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

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

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

3/3

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?

He would ensure the child went to a kind master.

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

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.
