Which sentence from the text most directly states Douglass's main point? I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. The blessings in which you this day rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. Fellow-citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions, I shall see this day and its popular characteristics from the slave's point of view.

Based on the passage the best answer for this would be:

Fellow-citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions,

Douglass’s main point revolves around American slavery that had happened to the people, he states that the privileged are enjoying the day of the 4th of July but they do not recall the horrors that had happened to the slaves during that period.
