 As stated in reference to the aquirement of worker authority following the Harper's Ferry Strike, individuals like Frederick Douglas came under a similairly intense scrutiny. Business owners and similairly wealthy, powerful individuals were angered by diving profits and were desperate to attribute these things to a root cause, a single person. Douglass' writing shared many unionizer sentiments and, as such, was meant with intense backlash.
+One thing that sticks out to me from Fredderick’s passage is how he mentions his attackers said he was going to take over the country. I was surprised to hear this rhetoric used as far back as the 1800s, being as it’s one we still heard in the 1900s and even today. - Justin
 **Frederick Douglass presents a vivid personal example of labor relations as shaped by slavery and racism.** The very essence of these relationships can be captured in Douglass’s comparison with piracy: “I owed it to him... solely because he had the power to compel me to give it up. The light grim-visaged pirate upon the high seas is exactly the same.” - Nikolai Kotkov
