1. What tactics do Pro-Slavery advocates use to justify their point. What tactics do the Abolitionists use, and how do these two sides compare? How do these various tactics help each side prove their point?
2. Even though Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth were both former slaves, in what way do their speeches differ? What about the difference in their own backgrounds? (i.e. male versus female, runaway versus legally emancipated) How do you think these difference impact the listener (or reader in this case)? How would their stories impact abolitionists compared to a pro-slavery advocate, or someone who was indifferent?
