to show that pro slavery attitudes are learned, not innate  

Answer 2

The youthful white companions naturally comprehended that there was a major issue with the entire framework to which Douglass was oppressed and they imparted that to him a few times.

He writes that his white playmates sometimes joined him in condemning slavery to demonstrate that subjugation was indefensible to those a lot more youthful than the grown-ups who trusted it was alright.
