This page provided me with a lot of background information on Frederick Douglass but also his relationship with religion. It speaks on the origins of his faith or relationship with religion, in which he was teaching slaves how to read through a secret sunday school class that he taught.
It also spoke on how he became a preacher in 1839.
It continues to speak on his love for christ but not for the corruption involved in Americas version of christianity.
This obviously relates to The Church and Prejudice as it shows some background information leading to his ideas expressed in the speech.
I will definitely use this website for background information and how his feeling relate to the speech.
Good background info! There's definitely a lot to work with on your thesis. Religion has always been controversial therefore your argument will be effective as long as you have sources to support you. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool link! I didn't look too see if you used it in your actual paper or not, but even if you didn't I'm sure it made some good background information for yourself! I really liked your presentation, I enjoyed the speech you chose.
