Frederick Douglass had no better information on what was going on in the war than did other people.

Douglass was a newspaper man and a public political speaker. He therefore had better access to the current events of the day than most people.

Horace Greeley was a crackpot.

Calling him names, deserved or not, in no way changes the fact that he was a newspaper man as well with extensive access to current events information that most people of the time did not have.

FD: "therefore" -- illogical

HG: was a crackpot -- denying it pits you against the facts
