he finally faught back

Slaves were sent to Mr. Covey,a slave breaker, if they showed any type of resistance or attitude. So, Fredrick Douglass was sent to him as well. Mr Coveys job was to break you down physically and mentally. He was rented to Mr. Covey for one year, and for the first six months he explained that he had lost all hope of anything anymore. Covey had broke him down so badly he escaped to his old plantation and ask his prior slave owner for protection. Fredrick was only sent back. But one afternoon Fredrick made up in his mind that he would not stand for it and he put up a fight that lasted two hours straight.
