Freedome to Fredrick Douglas means a place where you are not scared of being taken back into bondage. Fredrick Douglas does not believe anywhere in the U.S is free because there is always the chance that a black man can be taken back into slavery because of the Fugative SLave Laws and the Dred Scott case. Freedom is being able to make your own decisions and have rights equal to all others.
