Read this passage from my bondage and my freedom. what was the effect that the conversations with white boys had on douglass? i do not remember ever to have met with a boy, while i was in slavery, who defended the slave system; but i have often had boys to console me, with the hope that something would yet occur, by which i might be made free. over and over again, they have told me, that "they believed i had as good a right to be free as they had; " and that "they did not believe god ever made any one to be a slave." the reader will easily see, that such little conversations with my play fellows, had no tendency to weaken my love of liberty, nor to render me contented with my condition as a slave. they made him content with his condition as a slave they made him realize that slavery is unnatural they made him hate the white boys they weakened his love of liberty

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
