Douglass also eagerly debated the Constitution itself with many people, arguing that the Constitution is anti-slavery,

I would be very interested in hearing what sort of argument he came up with to claim that Article IV, Section 2 (The fugitive slave clause of the US Constitution) was "anti-slavery."

The American Constitution and the Slave - Is the Constitution pro-slavery or anti-slavery?

Both.

This is what happens when a document is written by a committee.

You know I record these things into audio at Librivox so they get a wider audience. So you should have already heard it by now, I've shown it to you more than once. That and I linked to it here as well to the other user - it was a raw-looking URL even. Meaning, you had to avoid clicking and avoid listening to it in order to hear it. How did you miss it?

"Both."

It's not. The 1619 Project is wrong. You trust progressives too much. Not really sure why you trust progressives, but there it is.
