Explanation:

Frederick Douglass's "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" explores the constitutional relevance of slavery even after America got its independence. He argues why blacks were still oppressed even after America has had her fair share of oppression from the British and celebrated with great pomp and festivities once independent.

In his statement "Oppression makes a wise man mad", the oppressors are the Britishers who oppressed the whites under the colonization system. The "wise" men in this line refers to the forefathers of the white men who were wise enough to protest and realized the oppressive state they were subjected to by the British. And it was this madness that led to the fight for independence. This statement is a reference to highlight how the whites were also put under the Britishers, just like the blacks and slaves were under the Americans.
