When Douglass was returned to the plantation why was he sent to a slave breaker?

Frederick Douglass was sent to a slave breaker after being returned to the plantation to be "broken" into submission and to suppress his rebellious spirit. His resistance to the harsh realities of slavery and his determination to learn and assert his identity made him a target for punishment. The slave breaker aimed to instill obedience and compliance in Douglass, using brutal methods to crush his will. This experience ultimately reinforced Douglass's resolve to escape and fight against the institution of slavery.
