not only has a negative impact on slaves‚ but on slaveholders as well. Douglass describes slavery as dehumanizing and soul-killing. Slavery has sucked the life out of many people. It has stripped them of their innocence and tainted their minds with cruelty and hatred. Slavery damaged many slaves‚ but has also ruined the lives of many slaveholders.

Through Deaf Eyes It was interesting to hear‚ and see‚ what kind of challenges that deaf people faced. One of the people I found interesting was. A hearing French professor had brought the language from France and that was how it signing had started. I thought that was interesting‚ because not only was it a long time to create a form of communication for the deaf community; they were also mistreated for their inability to communicate with the rest of the world. Another person that I found interesting

Freewill Through the Eyes of Stace I can most relate with Stace’s views on freewill. I feel that the freewill argument is more about definition and the word’s true meaning. I also agree with his statement of‚ "if there is no free will there can be no morality." Stace believes that is doing what we want to do and not being constrained from doing so. Morality is a good argument of why we do what we do. Then there is the idea that we have choices and choices are made by the individual and not

354 Question 6: Frederick Douglass A Christian is in no way an accurate name for a slaveholder. The name is in fact ironic. The Christian faith calls for freedom‚ respect‚ and kindness for every creature God has created. It is not justice for a “Christian” to treat another human or any living thing in such a cruel manner. Douglass makes a distinction between “true” and “false” christianity. Slaveholders are “false” christians because they do not execute justice for all of God’s creations. A
