In this excerpt from My Bondage and My Freedom, by Frederick Douglass, which sentence best conveys the idea that it is not in the nature of men and women to be enslaved or to enslave others?

It is easy to see, that, in entering upon the duties of a slaveholder, some little experience is needed. Nature has done almost nothing to prepare men and women to be either slaves or slaveholders. Nothing but rigid training, long persisted in, can perfect the character of the one or the other. One cannot easily forget to love freedom; and it is as hard to cease to respect that natural love in our fellow creatures. On entering upon the career of a slaveholding mistress, Mrs. Auld was singularly deficient lacking; nature, which fits nobody for such an office, had done less for her than any lady I had known. It was no easy matter to induce her to think and to feel that the curly-headed boy, who stood by her side, and even leaned on her lap; who was loved by little Tommy the Auld's son, and who loved little Tommy in turn; sustained to her only the relation of a chattel piece of personal property, such as furniture or farm animals. I was more than that, and she felt me to be more than that. I could talk and sing; I could laugh and weep; I could reason and remember; I could love and hate. I was human, and she, dear lady, knew and felt me to be so. How could she, then, treat me as a brute, without a mighty struggle with all the noble powers of her own soul.

"Nature has done almost nothing to prepare men and women to be either slaves or slaveholders"

Explanation:

This Douglass's work is a very special one in being probably the first to consider, both slaves and slaveholders, the victims of a slaveholding system.

He constantly remainds us on what is natural, and that being forced by the system to work against one's nature renders them victims of such a brutal system

He also emphasizes the children's view on this. Children, the purest beings among humans, don't understand the reason for slavery, the reason for one human being to take another's freedom away. The children's point of view is natural, but the system will change this and teach them to become slaves.

Throughout this excerpt, he gives many evidences for his idea of what's natural:

- "...and it is as hard to cease to respect that natural love in our fellow creatures".

- "...nature, which fits nobody for such an office..."

- "...without a mighty struggle with all the noble powers of her own soul"

- "Nothing but rigid training, long persisted in, can perfect the character of the one or the other".

But, probably the most obvious and the best fitting example is "Nature has done almost nothing to prepare men and women to be either slaves or slaveholders".
