a. How Thoreau protested

Explanation:

In the passage, the author shows how Thoreau protested. The author tells us that Thoreau protested laws that he believed were unfair. This included the Mexican-American War and slavery. Thoreau protested these laws by refusing to pay the poll tax. He was eventually arrested for this practice, and his acts and writings set the basis for civil disobedience all over the world.

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.
