read the excerpt from frederick douglass's memoir narrative of the life of frederick douglass, an american slave. which three sentences in this excerpt reflect the idea that even good people were part of the systematic abuse of slaves?
mr. severe was rightly named: he was a cruel man. i have seen him whip a woman, causing the blood to run half an hour at the time; and this, too, in the midst of her crying children, pleading for their mother's release. he seemed to take pleasure in manifesting his fiendish barbarity. added to his cruelty, he was a profane swearer. it was enough to chill the blood and stiffen the hair of an ordinary man to hear him talk. scarce a sentence escaped him but that was commenced or concluded by some horrid oath. the field was the place to witness his cruelty and profanity. his presence made it both the field of blood and of blasphemy. from the rising till the going down of the sun, he was cursing, raving, cutting, and slashing among the slaves of the field, in the most frightful manner. his career was short. he died very soon after i went to colonel lloyd's; and he died as he lived, uttering, with his dying groans, bitter curses and horrid oaths. his death was regarded by the slaves as the result of a merciful providence.
mr. severe's place was filled by a mr. hopkins. he was a very different man. he was less cruel, less profane, and made less noise, than mr. severe. his course was characterized by no extraordinary demonstrations of cruelty. he whipped, but seemed to take no pleasure in it. he was called by the slaves a good overseer.
