Read this passage from Chapter 1 of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. If the lineal descendants of Ham are alone to be scripturally enslaved, it is certain that slavery at the south must soon become unscriptural; for thousands are ushered into the world, annually, who, like myself, owe their existence to white fathers, and those fathers most frequently their own masters. How does Douglass's allusion to the biblical story of the sons of Ham affect his memoir?

It provides a means for proving that slavery was a just institution because it was dictated by God.

It serves to point out that basing the justification of slavery on the story of Ham is unsound.

It condemns enslavement of biracial people. It demonstrates that slavery harms both slaves and slaveholders.
