Frederick Douglass was trying to show us that 4th of July only were for white people in 1817. White people could celebrate their day and black people cannot enjoy this day being U.S citizens as white people. And, Douglas fought for the right of black people, for example he made speech and he make his own new paper in order to maintain his community informed how they can abolish the slavery . In order to have better illustration how Douglass thought he says “I am not included within the pale of glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us. The blessings in which you, this day, rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, be queather by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me.” Here, Douglas showed us that the country got the liberty from other nation, but this liberty didn’t apply for people just for selective people in this case white people. Douglas as part of the community of black people he didn’t feel to celebrate this day because he does not see the same right for everyone. For him the day of independent means that everybody has the opportunity to decide what they want in their life and no been slave.  The reason that I used this quote was because I see how Douglas feel when in 1817 people celebrate liberty when the reality was that this freedom aren’t for everybody and he give his opinion without care what white people can think or he may go to jail. For him the most import was to fight for his people don’t matter if he has to sacrifice his life. This article relate to the theme in a way that all the character were fighting for fix problem that affect people in U.S in the 1817 in order to have the same right for everyone.
