ChickenBones: A Journal Home Resolving the Oedipal Complex: Douglass' 1845 Narrative A Domestic Tale of Desire and Loss By Rudolph Lewis In “Myths of Masculinity: The Oedipus Complex and Douglass’s 1845 Narrative ” (published by Columbia University Press, 1998), Gwen Bergner used the language of psychoanalysis in her effort to get at the underlying text and meaning of Frederick Douglass’s first autobiography. Her novel approach, Bergner points out, is a “second wave” of Douglass criticism. Among her cohorts she included Deborah McDowell, Jenny Franchot, Valerie Smith, and George P. Cunningham. With her professed use of Freud and Lacan, Bergner concluded Douglass at 28 years old wrote a text that is “an icon of male sufficiency.” The 1845 Narrative , according to Bergner, was designed to “represent the consolidation of masculine identity against the image of a woman’s castrated body.” Bergner's reductionist view of Douglass' life is sustained by a feminist ideology in which man, any man, is the enemy, the center of power, the Phallus of feminine repression. In her exploration of the 1845

El Cato June 19, 1998 "To My Old Master, Thomas Auld" by Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass (c. 1817-95) escaped from slavery in 1838 and became a prominent abolitionist speaker and editor of the North Star. Douglass argued that slavery "destroys the central principle of human responsibility," and that the Constitution nowhere sanctions this odious institution. From that time, I resolved that I would some day run away. The morality of the act I dispose of as follows: I am myself; you are yourself; we are two distinct persons, equal persons. What you are, I am. You are a man, and so am I. God created both, and made us separate beings. I am not by nature bond to you, or you to me. Nature does not make your existence depend upon me, or mine to depend upon yours. I cannot walk upon your legs, or you upon mine. I cannot breathe for you, or you for me; I must breathe for myself, and you for yourself. We are distinct persons, and are each equally provided with faculties necessary to our individual existence. I leaving you, I took nothing but what belonged to me, and in no way lessened your means for obtaining an honest living. Your faculties remained yours, and mine became useful to their rightful owner. I therefore see no wrong in any part of the transaction.

As the nation became more sectionalized, what role did religion play in defining individual and group identity? How did religion inform the debate over slavery? How did religious groups outside the mainstream of American Protestantism reflect American culture, even in the act of rejecting it?

One could paint Bryant's God, and diagram Freneau's god. The men also reflect different chapters of the American experience. Philip Freneau, a voice of 18th-century rationalism and widely known as the "poet of the Revolution," was an aging 63 when he wrote "On the Universality." William Cullen Bryant, in contrast, was a young poet of 23 when he wrote "To a Waterfowl," one of the earliest American Romantic poems.

94. Douglass, Washington And DuBois:  An Essay On Similarities And Differences Amon Early Family Life. In time the first of the three, Frederick Douglassbegan life a slave in 1817 and lived as one until he was twentyone. http://www.huarchivesnet.howard.edu/9908huarnet/rla1a.htm

To be sure, the political ideologies of all three of these outstanding personages have been extensively treated in hundreds of books and articles, but comparisons of the social outlines of their respective lives have been less frequent. The implicit argument in this essay is that each of these giants of American history had extraordinary social and personal advantages over their fellows from their pre-adolescent years forward. A comparative review of various stages of their lives and times might yield an insightful whole greater than its individual parts. This particular review is actually a sketch of a comparative outline. What follows is a preliminary framework for such a comparison, using the categories of 1) early family life and location, 2) youthful exposure and experiences across the color line, 3) formal and informal education, 4) location and travels , and 5) debut or entry in the on-going national policy debate and struggle over race and social justice in America. Early Family Life In time the first of the three, Frederick Douglass began life a slave in 1817 and lived as one until he was twenty-one. Booker T. Washington was born in 1856, four years before the Civil War; W.E.B. DuBois was born in 1868, three years after the Civil War. Both Douglass and Washington had unknown white fathers, Douglass once declaring that slavery did away with fathers, as it did away with families. DuBois was born in freedom to two legally married parents of color. Alfred DuBois, his father, left the family when his son was about two years old and disappeared. Thus in all three cases, the natural fathers were absent. Washington had a stepfather in the house. One consequence of this situation was that sons and mothers were unusually close.

African American Migration The life of the African-American did not begin in the United States, but on the continent of Africa. Africans came to the North American colonies as a result of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Through a combination of slave imports and births, African-Americans became a large minority of the American population. This first migration, beginning in the 17th century, was involuntary; West Africans were transported to North America as enslaved peoples. A second forced migration occurred after the American Revolution, when thousands of African-American slaves were transported from older eastern areas of the United States to newer settlements. First, slaves were sent into the unsettled areas of the existing states of Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia as well as into the then territories of Kentucky and Tennessee. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana followed as plantation economics developed in those areas. By 1860, there were almost 4,000,000 slaves in the 15 southern states. In 1861 the Civil War had begun, partly as a result of the South’s effort to defend slavery. Although the war continued until 1865, President Lincoln emancipated slaves in southern states in 1863. Many emancipated slaves were then sent by their masters to areas such as Texas in order to protect their investments until the end of the war. However, in January 1865, the 13th Amendment was added to the Constitution, abolishing slavery in the United States. Texas was the last state in the Nation to receive the news, on June 19th, 1865. This date is celebrated by African-Americans as

100. African-Americans In The Anti-Slavery Movement The most important and probably the most influential black abolitionist was FrederickDouglass. He was born the son of a slave in Tuckahoe, Maryland in 1817. http://cghs.dade.k12.fl.us/slavery/anti-slavery_movement/africans.htm

Section Objectives Section Review Elizabeth Marmesh Patrick Hassell " We, (colored people of the United States of America) are the most wretched, degraded and abject set of beings that ever lived since the world began, and that the white Americans having reduced us to the wretched state of slavery, treat us in that condition more cruel than any heathen nation did any people whom it had reduced to our condition." David Walker Appeals to the Colored Citizens of the World , 1829 (Wilentz 473) White groups were not alone in their opposition to slavery. Free blacks gave enthusiastic support to abolition. Before William Lloyd Garrison was even born, blacks had been speaking out against slavery. Black abolitionists educated themselves and their white counterparts. Samuel E. Cornish and James Forten are thought to have influenced Garrison into opposing slavery (Bennett 144). During and after the Revolutionary War, blacks sought the abolition of slavery by petitioning the state and federal governments to outlaw the slave trade and begin a program of emancipation (Bennett 144). There were various types of attempts to avoid the persecution of slavery. In 1815, Captain Paul Cuffe sailed to Sierra Leone with thirty-eight black American settlers (Voices of Triumph 90). Cuffe believed that the only way for blacks to truly be free was for them to be totally independent. The mission, however, was unsuccessful. Cuffe died in Massachusetts in 1817 (Bennett 146). Daniel Coker, an African Methodist Episcopal leader and John B. Russwurm led other expeditions to Africa.
