Thank you for this question. please find the answer below:
The main message of Douglas' speech was the following;
The fact of slavery ruins the celebrations of the Fourth of July.
According to him, the citizens of America deserved equal rights. The aim of Fourth of July was to represent the true concept of American ideals. Hence, he said that African American were to be given equal rights.
Douglass gave this particular speech in the year 1852, after almost a decade before the breakout of the Civil War and in a period of EMancipation Proclamation in the USA.
While Douglas was no longer a slave for anyone, he begins by saying that he was still conscious in the beginning.
He touches on the points like the history of the American REvolutionaries'fight for freedom against their legal bondage under British rule.
