00:05

sure brought to you by the underground railroad which would

00:08

have been a whole lot easier to manage if it

00:10

had really involved secret underground trains Okay we're skimming Frederick

douglass Fine work here Passage and change your sight holder

00:20

existed Who could have been a necessity to iraq to

00:23

evil minded men Good man man you are flavoring All

00:29

right Well the author mentions the underground railroad in the

00:32

passage for the purpose of what And hear the potential

00:35

answers Morning Anything Okay well all right So what's up

00:40

with this mention of the underground railroad choice A definitely

00:43

does not have it right Douglas goal isn't to give

00:47

people examples of how to escape from slavery How do

01:25

01:29

publicly does nothing to help slaves In fact it encourages

01:32

slave owners to keep a tighter watch over their slaves

Not convinced douglas backs up his argument with the example

01:39

of the underground railroad which is now well known means
