The soap box was not in the original quote, and to be honest the original quote is likely not even from Frederick Douglass (he did say this though), but I feel the "soap box" is a necessary inclusion
According to Wikipedia: "Stephen Decatur Miller may have originated the concept during a speech at Stateburg, South Carolina in September 1830. He said "There are three and only three ways to reform our Congressional legislation, familiarly called, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box". This became his campaign slogan in his successful bid for the Senate on a platform advocating the abolition of tariffs."
I heard the four box version:
Soap box - freedom of speech
Ballot box
Jury box
Ammo box
