Fourth of July celebrations would have served as military morale-boosters for wearied soldiers and citizens. New York once had the second largest slave population in the United States: By 1730, 42 percent of the population owned slaves, according to the New York Public Library.While the state had passed a law shortly following the Revolutionary War ordering the gradual abolition of slavery, the slaves were not freed until July 4, 1827. Douglass gave it on July 5, refusing to celebrate the Fourth of July until all slaves were emancipated. Douglass declined the offer to speak on July 4th, for blacks had little stake or role in America’s patriotic celebrations. Independence Day (colloquially the Fourth of July or July 4) is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence of the United States, on July 4, 1776. It was a scathing speech in which Douglass stated, "This Fourth of July is yours, not mine, You may rejoice, I must mourn. Douglass was a powerful orator, often traveling six months out of the year to give lectures on abolition. I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. But it always seems to revert to […]
I am not included within the pale of glorious anniversary!
4. Douglass’s speech emphasized that American slavery and American freedom is a shared history and that the actions of ordinary men and women, demanding freedom, transformed our nation. His speech came at a time when America was confronting the increasingly irreconcilable tension between the fundamental values of the Republic’s founding and America’s dependence on a rapidly growing population of enslaved people that toiled in the cotton fields of the South that provided over half of all U.S. export earnings.However passionately Douglass had outlined the evils of slavery, he did not leave his audience in despair. As Douglass left the podium to take his seat the audience rose to thunderous applause.Facing a packed crowd of 600 people, Douglass delivered a speech that Yale University historian David W. Blight has described in his book “Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom,” as a “rhetorical masterpiece of American abolitionism,” an “oratorical symphony” and one of the “most important speeches in American history.”©2005 - 2020 Swift Communications, Inc. Ear-splitting cannon blasts and artillery salutes during Fourth of July continued into the mid-19th century, when leftover weaponry fell into disrepair and concern for public safety won the day, leaving only the fireworks.
In early summer 1852 Frederick Douglass, one of America’s greatest orators, was invited to deliver a Fourth of July address to the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society at the newly constructed Corinthian Hall, the most prestigious venue in Rochester, New York.
Chandler As most of the nation either enjoys vacation after Independence Day, or is heading back to the workplace, it is important to remember that freedom and equality was not always extended to all Americans. The Fourth of July from the get-go has been a rowdy holiday with ringing bells, gunfire, cannonfire, fireworks, feasting, speeches and toasts. In July of 1852, Frederick Douglass delivered a speech titled “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?,” a call for the promise of liberty be applied equally to all Americans.
Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us.A black-and-white photograph of Frederick Douglass wearing a jacket, waistcoat, and bowtie. The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, King George III, and were now united, free, and independent states. Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? and am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us?" Over the years, people tried to turn it into something else: a platform for temperance speeches, a chance for immigrants to express their ‘American-ness,’ a ‘safe-and-sane’ holiday. This opinion is the personal viewpoint of the author and does not reflect any official city view.As much as Douglass admired the Declaration of Independence, his focus was not on the past, but on the present and the future. History A July 4th Tradition: The Declaration Of Independence, Read Aloud To some, myself included, celebrations of American independence on July 4 are a reminder of the country’s hypocrisy on the matter of freedom, as slavery played a key role in the nation’s history; even today, America’s history of racism is still being written, while other forms of modern-day slavery persist in the U.S. and around the world.
