How do human begins react by nature to slavery?give out to phrase that gives dougl's opinion.?

although slavery was a delicate subject, and very cautiously talked about among grownup people in maryland i frequently talked about it---and that very freely---with the white boys. I would, sometimes,say to them, while seated on a curbstone or a cellar door."I wish i could be free, as you will be when you get to be men.""You will be free, you know,as soon as you are twenty-one,and can go where you like but I am a slave for life. Have i not as good a right to be free as you have?''Words like these i observed, always troubled them; and i had no small satisfaction in wringing from the boys,occasionally, that fresh and bitter condemation pf slaver, thatsprings from nature, unseared and unperverted.
