Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowledge, the ability to use smarts, statistics, and data in a situation or problem.
Knowledge can be a gift, or a weapon. Knowledge was needed to make the iPhone, TV, electricity. Those are pros, cons however are: school, tests, quizzes, math, the building of foreign weapons, bombs, missals etc.

That is why Douglass was upset about the gift of knowledgeable abilities.
