Frederick Douglass apologizes in his speech to acknowledge the gravity of the subject he is addressing and to express his deep respect for the audience, particularly given the somber nature of discussing slavery and its implications. His apology serves to soften the impact of his criticism and to convey his earnestness in advocating for justice and equality. By doing so, he seeks to foster a sense of understanding and moral responsibility among his listeners.
After escaping slavery in 1838, Frederick Douglass settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts and attended a church that sponsored abolitionist speakers. After hearing a speech by William Lloyd Garrison in 1841, Douglass became involved in the movement to outlaw slavery in the United States.
Frederick Douglass used rhetorical questions to ask both himself and the reader about specific situations in his life. He asked rhetorical questions around the time his grandma's life ended, he asked questions about how there was a God if he was a slave, etc.
Frederick Douglass's speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July" was primarily aimed at white Americans, particularly those who celebrated Independence Day while ignoring the plight of enslaved people. He sought to challenge their perceptions and moral complacency regarding slavery, urging them to recognize the hypocrisy in their celebrations. Additionally, Douglass aimed to inspire abolitionists and sympathetic individuals to advocate for justice and equality for African Americans.
