What evidence does Douglass provide in this paragraph to support his main
claim in this speech?
"...you boast of your love of liberty, superior civilization, and pure Christianity, while the whole nation is solemnly pledged to support and perpetuate the enslavement of three millions of your countrymen...You hurl your threats at tyrants in Russia and Austria and pride yourselves on your Democratic institutions, while you consent to be the more tools and bodyguards of the tyrants of Virgin and Carolina. You invite fugitives of absolutism from abroad, honor them with banquets, greet them with ovations, cheer them, toast them, salute them, protect them, and pour out your money to them like water; but the fugitives from your own land you advertise, bunt, arrest, shoot and kill. You are all on fire at the mention of liberty for France; but are as cold as an iceberg at the thought of liberty for the enslaved of America. Fellow citizens! I will not discuss further your national inconsistencies. The existence of slavery in this country brands your democracy a sham...and your Christianity as a lie. It destroys your moral power abroad; it corrupts your politicians at home."

Read the excerpt from "home front diary." jimmy simmons stopped by today to tell me that he had enlisted in the army. he asked me if i would write to him, and i said i would. i told him that i've been writing to my uncle arthur and susan's cousin john for about a year, and as an experienced correspondent i had some advice about all the censorship. "don't write down any information about your location or the number of soldiers in your unit because the censors will cut all of that away," i said. "in my experience, loose lips not only sink ships, they make letters look like snowflake decorations! ” well, he belly laughed over that one. how is the author's perspective different from jimmy's? the author has been to war and she can give jimmy advice. jimmy has become a soldier and does not believe the author’s advice. the author has experience writing to soldiers but jimmy does not. jimmy has more experience at letter writing than the author.
