Answer

Brief Explanations:

A counterclaim addresses an opposing view. Here, Douglass first presents a potential argument from the other side (the audience's statement about arguing more and denouncing less). Then he makes a case against it by questioning what exactly needs to be argued as the point (slave is a man) is already conceded.

Answer:
