so many were in slavery
Prior to the US Civil War Frederick Douglas was a freed slave living in the North. He was a self made scholar and newspaper writer. He was also part of the anti slavery abolitionist movement in the North. He was,of course, glad that the Union had prevailed in the Civil War and that all slaves were now free. But he knew that freedom was not enough. Having lived in the North he recognized that for the most part Northerners were against slavery. Douglas, however, also knew the slavery aside, many Northerners did not believe that former slaves needed to have the same political rights of Whites. Thus, as much as he appreciated the work of pro Black aid societies and the Freedmen's Bureau, freedom alone was not enough. The Freedmen's Bureau was a governmental agency created in 1865 to to ease the transition of slaves to freedom. Douglas realized and spoke out about the fact that freedom now won was not enough. He wanted equality as well, which was going to be a difficult task. Despite the laws and Constitutional amendments, equality was going to be a long struggle. Sadly, he was correct.
