In Frederick Douglass speech excerpt what to the slave is the Fourth of July give examples of ethos pathos and logos he uses?

Logos is the logic behind his speech. Ask yourself, Was his argument valid? Why or why not? and, What parts of his speech added to its validity? Pathos is the emotion invoked in a piece. Ask yourself, What about this speech caused emotional responses from his readers/listeners? Was it the horrors of slavery he describes? Ethos is his credibility. Ask yourself, What about Douglass makes his speech credible? was it that he was a Black man that had seen first hand the terrors of slavery and then horrors it allowed?
