Question

Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

I looked for home elsewhere, and was confident of finding none which I should relish less than the one which I was leaving. If, however, I found in my new home hardship, hunger, whipping, and nakedness, I had the consolation that I should not have escaped any one of them by staying. Having already had more than a taste of them in the house of my old master, and having endured them there, I very naturally inferred my ability to endure them elsewhere, and especially at Baltimore.

What word from the excerpt provides evidence that as an enslaved person, the author had little to no control over where he lived?

confident
hunger
escaped
consolation
