"My Bondage and My Freedom" by Frederick Douglass is an autobiographical account written in the mid-19th century. This significant work explores the profound injustices of slavery through the eyes of Douglass, who chronicles his journey from enslavement to freedom and his reflections on the nature of human rights and dignity. At the start of the book, Douglass details his early life as a slave, reminiscing about his childhood in Tuckahoe, Maryland, where he lived with his grandmother and the harsh realities of being separated from his family. He shares poignant memories of his grandmother's care and the painful knowledge of being defined as property, rather than a human being. Douglass sets a foundation for discussing the psychological and emotional toll of slavery, introducing themes of identity, loss, and the longing for freedom, creating an impactful narrative that critiques the institution of slavery itself.
