The answer to your question....

What is the reason behind Douglass not knowing his birth date?

IS Slave owners keep their slaves ignorant of their birth dates..

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the reason behind Douglass not knowing his birth date?The slavery culture demanded that slaves be treated as property, and to this end, slaves needed to believe they were property. Having no birth record and no true knowledge of one's age helped establish this mindset of being a non-person.

Douglass was born in Talbot County, Maryland, though he does not know the year, as most slaves are not allowed to know their ages.

Hope this helped.Have a great day/week.
