Question 16 • (AG Q3) American History 8: 25-26 (AHostetler)

Which statement is the most accurate comparison of William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass?

Answer
A
Both men edited abolitionist newspapers, and both wrote autobiographies about being enslaved.
B
Both men edited abolitionist newspapers, but Garrison also wrote an autobiography about being enslaved.
C
Both men edited abolitionist newspapers, but Douglass also wrote an autobiography about being enslaved.
D
Garrison wrote an autobiography about being enslaved, and Douglass edited an abolitionist newspaper.

Explanation

Both men edited abolitionist newspapers: Garrison published The Liberator, and Douglass published The North Star. Douglass also wrote autobiographies describing his experience of enslavement, including Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Garrison was not formerly enslaved, so he did not write an autobiography about being enslaved.
