Based on the excerpt from my bondage and my freedom, what is frederick douglass’s view about the lack of education among slaves?

In My Bondage and My Freedom, Frederick Douglass describes how his mistress began to teach him the alphabet but was forced to stop by her husband, who convinced her that "education and slavery are incompatible with each other.”

Douglass also realized this fact as a child and resolved to learn to read and write by any means possible:

In teaching me the alphabet, in the days of her simplicity and kindness, my mistress had given me the "inch," and now, no ordinary precaution could prevent me from taking the "ell.”

In this way, Frederick Douglass suggests that education is the only way to break the chains of slavery. An educated man is free from ignorance and cannot be enslaved, so slaves should strive to get educated by any means possible.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
