But I fancy I hear some one of my audience say is a direct approach to the listeners; he personalizes the speech in this way (443). In this passage, he recognizes that many skeptics of abolition wish for more positive argument than negative. In realizing this, Douglass goes on to show the skeptics how that notion is wrong because there is no positive argument that could effect change in the slavery ...

- ... for lost earnings. The schools will have to be free and maybe should serve food supplements. The parents might view this nutrition as valuable and keep their children in school.
