What I’m Reading: Life and Times of Frederick Douglass – 44 in a series – “…encouraging the enmity of the poor laboring white man against the blacks…”

“The slaveholders, with a craftiness peculiar to themselves, by encouraging the enmity of the poor laboring white man against the blacks, succeeded in making the said white man almost as much a slave as the black slave himself.”

From Life and Times of Frederick Douglass: (An African American Heritage Book)

Why I'm Reading: He was whipped oftener who was whipped easiest.
