“Robin Hood and the Scotchman” Now bold Robin Hood to the north would go, With valour and mickle might; With sword by his side, which oft had been try’d, To fight and recover his right. The first that he met was a jolly stout Scot, His servant he said he would be; No quoth Robin Hood, it cannot be good. For thou wilt prove false unto me. Thou hast not been true to sire or cuz: Nay marry, the Scot he said; As true as your heart, I never will part, Good master be not afraid. But e’er I employ you, said bold Robin hood, With you I must have a bout; The Scotchman reply’d, let the battle be try’d, For I know I will beat you out. Thus saying, the contest did quickly begin, Which lasted two hours and more; The blows Sawney gave bold Robin so brave, The battle soon made him give o’er. Have mercy, thou Scotchman, bold Robin Hood cry’d, Full dearly this boon have I bought; We will both agree, and my man you shall be, For a stouter I never have fought. Then Sawney consented with Robin to go, To be of his bowmen so gay; Thus ended the fight, and with mickle delight To Sherwood they hasted away.

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.
