The thing that really gets me about that Douglass speech is that what he was asking for the black man is pretty much the premise of the founding of the United States, that men would be left alone by government. That idea doesn't seem to be accepted very universally anymore, not even here on FR.

I use to live in Maryland and correct me if I am wrong but I believe there is a statue in the honor of Douglass at Salisbury, MD outside the courthouse with other great people prominent during the Civil War.

How true. What's good for the GOP takes precedence over what's good for the individual.
