Frederick Douglass on Reconstruction


 

"No republic is safe that tolerates a privileged class, or denies to any of its citizens equal rights and equal means to maintain them."

By Frederick Douglass

What is Douglass' meaning about "tolerating a privileged class"?

How could society deny equal rights to citizens if they are being maintained?

Why does Douglass refer to all citizens and not specifically to freedmen?
