Read the excerpt from Frederick Douglass's speech "What to the Slave ls the Fourth of July?" Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World,
travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the
side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and
shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival.
To support his purpose, Douglass includes words such a v
"search," "roam," and "found"
"monarchies," "reigns," and "nation"
"abuse," "barbarity" and "shameless'
"Old World," "South America," and "America"
