Frederick Douglass defends the Constitution. Many abolitionists in his day had misguided views about the Founding Fathers and the Constitution. Douglass was ready to set them straight.

This is a direct reproduction of a speech from 1860, while Douglass was on a speaking tour in Glasgow, Scotland. He gave two speeches of very similar content: "The Constitution of the United States: is it pro-slavery or anti-slavery" and "The American Constitution and the Slave".
