The quote was from Frederick Douglass, a black man living during the Civil War.

Impossible to know for certain, but I suspect he wouldn't be terribly pleased with a comparison of the current "lower class" to real slaves.

Comparing the lower class to real slaves was exactly and explicitly what he did do. Or are your scare quotes meant to imply that the modern lower class isn't a "real" lower class?
