The answer is: Knowledge is power.

Frederick Douglass was a freed slave and his essay “Learning To Read And Write” he shows all the different ways and methods he used to learn, he show scenarios when the people does not even noticed that was teaching him, he talks about the power that the knowledge can give to a men and how this power made him a different person.

the author is showing that it is the insatisfaction of basic needs that brings about the protests such as the strikes.if workers do not earn enough to buy food and feed their families and themselves in order to continue working, what is the use of working? besides, another message from the author is that of the owners of factories should be worried about ensuring their furure by having a second and third generation of workers in their industries.if they do not hear the workers demands, they will not have any more workers to make their pockets full.
