The correct answer is D. He believes it is wrong to celebrate while slavery still exists in America.

Frederick Douglass’ speech was given before the Civil War in the 1850s. The tone in his speech progressively becomes angrier as he states that it is hypocritical that a nation built on the concept of slavery celebrates a day of freedom.
