{"product_id":"2940016248936","title":"My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass - An Autobiography (Illustrated)","description":"My Bondage and My Freedom is the story of the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass' life in his own words.  The book is divided into two parts \"My Life as a Slave\" and \"My Life as a Freeman\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the introduction:  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"When a man raises himself from the lowest condition in society to the highest, mankind pay him the tribute of their admiration; when he accomplishes this elevation by native energy, guided by prudence and wisdom, their admiration is increased; but when his course, onward and upward, excellent in itself, furthermore proves a possible, what had hitherto been regarded as an impossible, reform, then he becomes a burning and a shining light, on which the aged may look with gladness, the young with hope, and the down-trodden, as a representative of what they may themselves become. To such a man, dear reader, it is my privilege to introduce you. \u003cbr\u003eThe life of Frederick Douglass, recorded in the pages which follow, is not merely an example of self-elevation under the most adverse circumstances; it is, moreover, a noble vindication of the highest aims of the American anti-slavery movement. The real object of that movement is not only to disenthrall, it is, also, to bestow upon the Negro the exercise of all those rights, from the possession of which he has been so long debarred.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I.
