Answer:

The main point was to talk about slavery and his origins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frederick Douglas , a born slave, was son of Harriet Bailey, but he was not sure about who his father was, probably his master, a white man. He wrote about his origins, his suffering being apart of his mother , since he was born. He also suffered because , probably, his own father was his owner. That was something he , as all slaves, couldn“t stand for.
