Question

excerpt from \what the black man wants\ by frederick douglass delivered 1865 before the annual meeting of the massachusetts anti - slavery society, boston, ma i do not know, from what has been said, that there is any difference of opinion as to the duty of abolitionists, at the present moment. how can we get up any difference at this point, or any point, where we are so united, so agreed? i went especially, however, with that word of mr. phillips, which is the criticism of gen. banks and gen. banks policy. i hold that that policy is our chief danger at the present moment; that it practically enslaves the negro, and makes the proclamation the emancipation proclamation of 1863 a mockery and delusion. what is freedom? it is the right to choose ones own employment. certainly it means that. if it means anything, and when any individual or combination of individuals undertakes to decide for any man when he shall work, where he shall work, at what he shall work and for what he shall work, he or they practically reduce him to slavery applause. he is a slave. that i understand gen. banks to do - to determine for the so - called freedman, when, and where, and at what, and for how much he shall work, when he shall be punished, and by whom punished. it is absolute slavery. it defeats the beneficent intention of the government, if it has beneficent intentions, in regards to the freedom of our people. which excerpt from \what the black man wants\ best summarizes the speech? i do not know, from what has been said, that there is any difference of opinion as to the duty of abolitionists, at the present moment. how can we get up any difference at this point, or at any point, where we are so united, so agreed? i am for the \immediate, unconditional, and universal\ enfranchisement of the black man, in every state in the union. shall we at this moment justify the deprivation of the negro of the right to vote, because someone else is deprived of that privilege?
