There is no doubt that Benjamin Franklin and Frederick Douglass are two of the most inspiring men in history. They are both described as inspirations and epitomes of the true American Dream. These men represent self-reliance, independence, and share a desire for liberty. Though there work ethics and values may be viewed as similar, they both came from very different backgrounds. Franklin grew up in a big middle-class family. His parents were loving, however he was the fifteenth child out of seventeen children. Because of this Franklin had to rely heavily on himself while growing up, which made for tough times, yet he had the more favorable life due to the fact that Douglass was sold into slavery as a child. Douglass was a slave of many masters. Some of his masters allowed Douglass to be freer, sadly the others provided horrible whippings and beatings.

Frederick Douglass and Abe Lincoln were two very different men who grew up in remarkably different worlds. Somehow, their paths converged and they occasionally worked together to solve the issue of slavery. Douglass, a radical, called for immediate emancipation while Lincoln, a Republican, called for a much more conservative approach. Although they were both concerned with the same issue, their plans to solve the problem could not have been more different. Their differences stemmed from their backgrounds and personal views but each approach had its own merit; however, Douglass’ approach would have a more powerful impact in today’s society.

After reading the Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, written by Harriet Jacobs, I was inspired to read the story of Frederick Douglas.
