Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop too

00:05

sure brought to you by the underground railroad which would

00:08

have been a whole lot easier to manage if it

00:10

had really involved secret underground trains Okay we're skimming Frederick

00:16

douglass Fine work here Passage and change your sight holder

00:20

existed Who could have been a necessity to iraq to

00:23

evil minded men Good man man you are flavoring All

00:29

right Well the author mentions the underground railroad in the

00:32

passage for the purpose of what And hear the potential

00:35

answers Morning Anything Okay well all right So what's up

00:40

with this mention of the underground railroad choice A definitely

00:43

does not have it right Douglas goal isn't to give

00:47

people examples of how to escape from slavery How do

00:50

we know Well magic and the fact that douglas specifically

00:53

says so in the passage he doesn't make the cut

00:56

either Douglas mention of the underground has nothing to do

01:00

with the idea that all slaves oughta be encouraged to

01:03

escape And since he never gives us the deeds on

01:06

his escape is not citing the underground railroad as a

01:09

counter example like choice See says we can't ever give

01:13

a counter example to an example that doesn't exist with

01:16

nothing to counter our examples like a kung fu master

01:19

kung fu ing the air Yes we'll move off thie

01:22

correct answer is d douglas says that he admires the

01:25

people who helped slaves escape But making this information available

01:29

publicly does nothing to help slaves In fact it encourages

01:32

slave owners to keep a tighter watch over their slaves

01:36

Not convinced douglas backs up his argument with the example

01:39

of the underground railroad which is now well known means

01:42

of escape dying to know details of douglas escape Well

01:45

it may have involved him disguising himself as a sailor 00:01:48.716 --> [endTime] You really had to practice is ours
