Sammendrag av My Bondage and My Freedom, Chapter 20
Chapter 20 av 34 · 19 min å lese kapitlet
In Chapter 20, Frederick returns to Baltimore, survives a violent shipyard assault, and finds that the authorities refuse to act without white witnesses. He becomes a skilled caulker and joins an intellectual society, but Hugh Auld’s seizure of his wages makes improved circumstances deepen rather than ease his opposition to slavery.
Handlingen
- Frederick returns to Baltimore after threats against his safety, while his former companions remain with their enslavers.
- His childhood closeness with Thomas Auld, Junior, gives way to separation as their unequal positions become more pronounced.
- At William Gardiner’s shipyard, racial hostility among white workers leads four apprentices to attack and seriously injure Frederick.
- Hugh Auld seeks legal action, but Esquire Watson requires white witnesses, and none come forward.
- Frederick recovers, learns caulking at Walter Price’s yard, earns skilled wages, and takes part in an intellectual society.
- Hugh takes all Frederick’s earnings, strengthening Frederick’s dissatisfaction and his argument that slavery depends on suppressing thought.
