Read this passage from My Bondage and My Freedom. What was the effect that the conversations with white boys had on Douglass? I do not remember ever to have met with a boy, while I was in slavery, who defended the slave system; but I have often had boys to console me, with the hope that something would yet occur, by which I might be made free. Over and over again, they have told me, that "they believed I had as good a right to be free as they had;" and that "they did not believe God ever made any one to be a slave." The reader will easily see, that such little conversations with my play fellows, had no tendency to weaken my love of liberty, nor to render me contented with my condition as a slave. They made him content with his condition as a slave They made him realize that slavery is unnatural They made him hate the white boys They weakened his love of liberty

I would say the second choice. None of the other choices are true.
