Frederick Douglass asks students to confront an explosive question:
How, in a nation founded on ideas of equal rights and freedom,
could the institution of slavery become so entrenched and
long-lasting? How was slavery justified and how was it criticised?
At a literary forum, students consider the newly-published
Narrative of Frederick Douglass and hold a hearing on John C.
Calhoun's view of slavery as a "positive good". Finally, players
address the US Constitution, its original protections of the
slaveholders' power and the central question: Are Americans more
beholden to the Constitution or to some "higher law"?
