Why did Frederick Douglass not get in volved in the temperance movement in Ireland?

Frederick Douglass did not get involved in the temperance movement in Ireland primarily because he believed that the fight against slavery and racial injustice took precedence over other social issues. While he acknowledged the problems of alcohol abuse, he felt that his efforts were better spent advocating for the rights of African Americans. Additionally, Douglass was focused on raising awareness about the systemic oppression faced by Black people, which he considered a more pressing concern than temperance at the time. His commitment to civil rights overshadowed involvement in other reform movements.
