Respuesta :
Frederick Douglass felt reluctant to speak at the anti-slavery convention at Nantucket because at that time he felt like a slave as yet.
Explanation:
Frederick Douglass, when sharing his experience as a slave at an anti-slavery meeting at New Bedford, was overheard by a banker. Impressed by his wisdom and articulation of words, he invited Douglass to address an Anti-Slavery Convention at Nantucket.
This was to be attended by various white activists as well. This made Douglass nervous and reluctant as he had never addressed a big crowd before and he at that time was yet felt like a slave, not having overcome the inhibitions as yet.
He, however, went ahead and addressed the crowd and gave a speech on his views and experience as a slave.
