Frederick Douglass: What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?

I don’t think that he’d abandon the party that actually gave African Americans freedom, citizenship, and the ability to vote in the first place. 13th amendment was passed with 2 aye votes from the Dem party and the 14th and 15th amendments were passed with zero support at all. My point here is that there was a tremendous amount of goodwill that was built up in his lifetime with the party.

Would such an intelligent person make such decisions based upon 169 year old information and circumstances?

You think too little of him.
