He states that he can't find the words to capture the feeling, which shows how overwhelming but also powerful it was. Douglas helps the reader understand how deep his emotions are, by really describing his freedom. This is effective because the theme of freedom is highlighted and also shows the lasting impact slavery has on his identity.

I have never been able to answer the question with any satisfaction to myself."

We can see this when Douglas explained that, “In spite of him, and in spite of myself, I continued to think, and to think about the injustice of my enslavement, and the means of escape,” demonstrating that a lot of baggage was put onto the slaves even after becoming free by showing that it takes up a lot of his thoughts.
