Answer 3

This is a great speech by Frederick Douglass: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4h2927...

He gave it on the Fourth of July and it was supposed to be something patriotic and inspirational, but as a former slave he took the opportunity to criticize the U.S. for not yet abolishing the practice.
