What are the Differences between Frederick Douglas and John Brown.In Chapter 3 of Midnight Rising, we learn that John Brown and Frederick Douglass met during the winter of 1847-48, and that Brown shared with Douglass an early version of his plan to start a slave revolt. Brown wanted Douglass to join his effort but, despite being impressed with Brown, Douglass refused. Based on what we have learned about the two men in our course readings, why do you think that Douglass refused to join with Brown? How do you think the themes of expansion we have discussed in this class help us to understand their different strategies for achieving the abolition of slavery? Please use at least SEVEN examples from the texts to support your answer.
