20 ! explain the different viewpoints of frederick douglass and captain canot regarding slavery. (if you know the book captain cannot is in that would be awesome)

Frederick wanted freedom for slaves and Captain Canot did not. Slaves were not allowed to learn. Auld tells his wife not to teach Douglass how to read and write. He believes having an education will ruin him as a slave. It is from Hugh Auld that Douglass learns the idea that knowledge is a path to freedom. 

Douglass sees that Auld has unwittingly revealed the strategy by which “whites” manage to keep “blacks” as slaves and by which “blacks” might free themselves. Douglass presents his own self-education as the primary means by which he is able to free himself, and as his greatest tool to work for the freedom of all slaves. He devoted the bulk of his time, immense talent, and boundless energy to ending slavery and gaining equal rights for African Americans.

These were the central concerns of his long reform career. Douglass understood that the struggle for emancipation and equality demanded forceful, persistent, and unyielding agitation. After Douglass escaped, he wanted to promote freedom for all slaves. He published a newspaper in Rochester, New York, called The North Star. It got its name because slaves escaping at night followed the North Star in the sky to freedom.
