He reads the constitution. He reads how it was built. He reads its history from original sources. He realizes he obtained bad information at best, and at worst someone lied to him. The reality is that the Founding Fathers were great - tremendous even, for black Americans, and Douglass is ready to state these things. He, as a former slave, becomes one of the best defenders of the so-called slaving Constitution and specifically is a defender of the so-called racist Founding Fathers. If your main point is that Frederick Douglas saw deeper than the foolish liberals of today, I absolutely agree.
Despite the system being stacked against his race, he saw the merit in how it was created and how it had the ability to change into something better.
