Review # 1 was written on 2013-06-08 00:00:00 Petter Steen If by "collected articles" you mean 2 articles. The first one is the story about how Douglas escaped from slavery. It is pretty eye opening if youve never read such a narrative before. Really shows you how brutal their situation is, and how ridiculously powerful and authoritarian the state was, for all those who glorify ye olde republic. The second essay was shorter, and I was less of a fan of it. It was essentially an ideological defense of radical reconstruction. yuck. Just the first essay gets 5 stars. Then, -1 star for the second essay, and -1 star for being a phony "collection."

Review # 2 was written on 2016-08-02 00:00:00 Edward Servin The title is a bit misleading as it only contains two articles. If you've never read anything on Frederick Douglass, then I think it's a good place to start due to its brevity (the first article, not so much the second).
