What is the slave maxim Douglass uses to explain this and how does maxim justify what slaves say?

Answer:

1

. The slaves were punished very severely for no reason. They were paranoid because they were unaware of what can happen next and how badly can they get injured by the masters. They did not speak ill of the masters because if by any means, the master gets a hint of any ill words about himself, he would drag the slave, whip him or resell him for just expressing the thoughts.

Douglass illustrates the example of a slave who, when asked about how his master treated him, told the truth. Not knowing Colonel Lloyd’s face, he tells the man he is treated very badly. This upsets Lloyd and a few weeks later, the same slave is chained and sold to a broker in Georgia for the “offense." Douglass elaborates that this was the situation of the slaves who spoke the truth.

Further, the fear of suffering was content in the minds of the slaves that they always spoke well of their master. Some of the slaves were in real prejudice and acted competitively about each other masters.  

2. Mr. Gore is proud, driven, tricky, and pitiless, and his control over the slaves is savage. He doesn't contend or hear dissents and mostly looks for any opportunity to rebuff the slaves. He guarantees that the majority of the slaves bow down to him, in the same way as he does for the Colonel. Mr. Gore is a quiet man, never clowning as a few managers would. He performs uncouth deeds of discipline with a cool air.  

At some point, Mr. Austin whips one slave. Demby. He runs to a pit to hide and calm the pain. Demby declines to leave the brook, and Mr. Gore gives Demby a count of three, after which he instantly shoots the slave. At the point when examined concerning his activities, Mr. Austin composedly clarifies that Demby was setting a terrible example in front of other slaves. Mr. Gore is never researched for this murder, and lives free.  

This is the ironic part of the character which exemplifies the incongruity that Mr. Gore is regarded for his ability as a “first-rate overseer.”

3.Douglass considers his travel to Baltimore an endowment of the condition. On the off chance that he had not been expelled from Colonel Lloyd's ranch around then, Douglass trusts he would at present be a slave, as opposed to a man sitting openly in his house composing his life account. Douglass understands that he may seem superstitious or self‑centered to assume that stipulation contributed to his conveyance to Baltimore, however, the inclination is as yet solid. From his most early memory, Douglass detected that he would not be a slave for eternity. This sense gave him trust in tough occasions, and he thinks of it as a blessing from God.

excerpt from Remarks by the President on Promoting Community Broadband
by Barack Obama
When I first came into office and we were trying to make sure that we prevented a Great Depression but also start building some foundations
for long-term growth, we built or improved more than 113,000 miles of network infrastructure throughout the country....
But-and this is why I'm here-we've still got a lot of work to do. Right now, about 45 million Americans cannot purchase next-generation
broadband. And that next generation of broadband creates connections that are six or seven times faster than today's basic speeds. And by the
way, only about half of rural Americans can log on at that super-fast rate.
