道格拉斯在內戰時期所扮演的角色
1863年1月1日時，林肯的奴隸解放宣言清楚陳述，盟軍內的奴隸現在全部恢復自由並可在聯軍內服役。戰爭快結束時，已經徵召約186,000位非裔美人；道格拉斯也在好幾個地區擔任徵兵人員，負責僱用非裔美人到聯軍服役。右邊這封信的內容為請求道格拉斯為徵兵貢獻一己之力；您認為他為誰效忠？
On January 1, 1863, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation clearly stated that Confederate slaves were now free and they could serve in the Union army. By the end of the war, about 186,000 African American men had enlisted. Douglass also worked as a recruiter in several regions of the country signing up African Americans to serve in the Union army. This letter requests Douglass's presence to help in the recruitment effort. Whom do you think he signed up to serve?
