Fredrick Douglass and David Crockett
Fredrick Douglass and David Crockett
Frederick Douglass and David Crockett were both brought up in completely different circumstances and had completely different paths in life; however they both shared common beliefs, values and experiences. Frederick Douglass was born a slave in the state of Maryland, and eventually escaped slavery in the year 1938. Douglass was a strong believer in the equality of all people. He was often quoted saying "I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong." David crocket was a white American, who was born in Tennessee. He was the fifth of nine children, and childhood was filled with adventures. He was later known for his involvement in politics, literature and the government. He had strong beliefs in independence. He was well known for sharing his beliefs with the world without hesitation. The struggles that both of these men endured helped shape them into the historical figures we know today, though their lives were so diverse, there morals and standards are strongly related of one another.
David Crockett’s childhood was filled with adventure and struggles. One of the most defining moments in David’s life occurred around the age of twelve. David’s father suggested to a man that was traveling over 300 miles with a large stock of cattle, that David assists him on his trip. The man agreed to this and so young David and the Old Dutch man set off on this long journey. When they arrived to their destination the man seemed very pleased with David’s assistance and insisted that he stay and not return to his family. David obeyed the man, but with a weary heart. He eventually returned to his family by getting a ride home without the consent of the Old Dutch man. I think this was a turning point in the life of David Crockett, because it taught him the value of hard work, family, and also the harsh realities of other people. It taught him that not all men were to be trusted.
Fredrick Douglass also learned this the hard
