Douglass and Lincoln’s Past Voices

Before the Renaissance, the age of darkness was an era of intellectual darkness and barbarism, and almost life was not understood so almost "it disappeared" (editor). The 19th century can be regarded as another thing, but it is completely different "Dark Age" represents suffering (huge) of everyone. It has different darkness from the dark age of reality, but in slavery, racial discrimination, and war, it has its roots called the same. "Is slave on July 4?" And "Second Inaugural Address" was written in the 19th century, and these themes happened there.

In the 1850s, two giants in the American historical setting, Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln began to progress the path of slavery integration. On June 16, 1858, Lincoln's speech on 'House division' declared that the state could not survive semi-slaves and semi-freedom. Both Douglas and Lincoln were inspired by the philosophy of freedom and equality included in the Declaration of Independence, but it is immoral to agree to slavery, they opposed the best way to abolish the system. Frederick Douglas was convinced that the Constitution is anti - slavery, but Lincoln claims that the document does not allow Parliament to abolish the southern systems. According to Lincoln's decision, what the federal government can do is to prevent slavery from spreading to new territory. Lincoln wants slavery to die naturally only in the southern part.

When I saw Lincoln committed to the cause of anti - slavery, Douglas' idea was open to the wisdom of Lincoln politicians. "In his mind" Douglas later refused that Lincoln had "disliked aversion and slavery." . "This declaration changed everything," Douglas later remembered. But in August 1864, when the president worried that a voter who immediately lost morale would be forced to end the war at an early stage, the president unquestionably confirmed Lincoln 's anti - slavery commitment. He summoned Douglas to the White House and discussed secret plans. Please release as much as possible during this time. "What I said on this day" Douglas wrote in his last autobiography, "I show a deeper moral belief in slavery than ever".
