Frederick Douglass's memoir was significant as it provided an insight into the world of a slave when America was full of slave owners denying rights to the black people.

The book was influential as it provided a first-hand account of slaves and their plight in the plantations. This helped activists and abolitionists to understand the slaves and their need for freedom. It also encouraged and provided hope in the slaves that they are also capable of gaining their freedom and be free men and not merely slaves to the white masters.

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass' memoir "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave" contains his life being a slave and how he got his freedom. The book became one of the most important literary pieces to be about slave discrimination and also from a slave's perspective.

This piece of literature provides a narrative of how slaves were treated, how their lives were in the plantations, and also provides a first person account of what form of torture and prejudice was inflicted on them. America in the 1840s was a world of white plantation owners owning slaves more like property than treating them as fellow human beings. And the horrendous cruelty that they inflicted on them was one that whites think their right and one that no one dared to point out or even write about. And so, with Douglass's personal accounts, the plight and real situation of slaves came to be known. And through his memoir, a written, person proof of such heinous acts are revealed to the world.

The book became influential with the plight of the slaves being ignored. With this proof, abolitionists and activists began to understand and know the true situation of slaves, and the book became a source of inspiration not only for abolitionists but also for slaves to try to get their freedom and be free men.
