(2) Douglass was not anti-American; he was, rightly and passionately, anti-slavery. Indeed, he concluded the speech as follows:
“Allow me to say, in conclusion, notwithstanding the dark picture I have this day presented, of the state of the nation, I do not despair of this country.
“There are forces in operation, which must inevitably, work the downfall of slavery. ‘The arm of the Lord is not shortened,’ and the doom of slavery is certain.
“I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from ‘the Declaration of Independence,’ the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age.”
Let me encourage everyone, READ THE ENTIRE SPEECH; it is powerful, inspirational, and historically important in bending the arc of history towards justice: https://rbscp.lib.rochester.edu/2945

How horrified he’d be today then, to see what is happening to his beloved country. Perpetrated and emboldened by the @GOP who, over the past 5 years, have systematically begun to dismantle the USA that Douglas hoped for in the future.

Martin Luther King Jr. said almost the exact same thing. Was he concerned about forced labor?
You do realize that if Douglass were alive today he would consider you one of those dark forces.
