And it is most cheering to the friends of freedom, today, that evidence of this equality is rapidly accumulating, not from the ranks of the half-freed colored people of the free states, but from the very depths of slavery itself the indestructible equality of man to man is demonstrated by the ease with which black men, scarce one remove from barbarism-if slavery can be honored with such a distinction-vault into the high places of the most advanced and painfully acquired civilization. The people at large must feel the conviction, as well as admit the abstract logic, of human equality the Negro, for the first time in the world’s history, brought in full contact with high civilization, must prove his title first to all that is demanded for him in the teeth of unequal chances, he must prove himself equal to the mass of those who oppress him-therefore, absolutely superior to his apparent fate, and to their relative ability. The real object of that movement is not only to disenthrall, it is, also, to bestow upon the Negro the exercise of all those rights, from the possession of which he has been so long debarred.īut this full recognition of the colored man to the right, and the entire admission of the same to the full privileges, political, religious and social, of manhood, requires powerful effort on the part of the enthralled, as well as on the part of those who would disenthrall them. The life of Frederick Douglass, recorded in the pages which follow, is not merely an example of self-elevation under the most adverse circumstances it is, moreover, a noble vindication of the highest aims of the American anti-slavery movement.
