@oberstenzian Well, Douglass didn’t confuse access with agreement. He left Lincoln dissatisfied more than once. But he understood that refusing to engage wouldn’t free anyone. The question for him was whether pressure could move power and whether Black soldiers would be armed and recognized. He chose leverage over non-participation.
