What Frederick Douglass actually said
- Frederick Douglass American abolitionist and writer (about 1817 to 1895)
Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting. America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.
