In the section I am reading now Frederick Douglass is explaining his first master. I am guessing Douglass was with his master “Captain Anthony” when he was younger because he was not be able to recall his first name. When Douglass is explaining him I can tell that he is similar to Douglass’ other master Auld. The reason why he is similar to Auld is because Anthony is, [very cruel and horrible to his slaves] and “was not considered a rich slaveholder” (Douglass).  He also explains how his overseer’s name was Mr. Plummer. Douglass describes Plummer and as a very cruel man that took pleasure in whipping slaves. I wanted to know what is an overseer and why did the slave owners need them?
