In his speech, Douglass explains his viewpoint that as long as people do not receive equal treatment, it’s wrong to celebrate Independence Day. Which quotation provides valid support for Douglass's reasoning?
I need more information, give me the options to choose from
Okay
A.“How should I look to-day, in the presence of Americans, dividing, and subdividing a discourse, to show that men have a natural right to freedom?” B. “Must I argue that a system thus marked with blood, and stained with pollution, is wrong? No! I will not.” C.“There are seventy-two crimes in the State of Virginia, which, if committed by a black man, (no matter how ignorant he be), subject him to the punishment of death; while only two of the same crimes will subject a white man to the like punishment.” D. “…I will, in the name of humanity which is outraged, in the name of liberty which is fettered, in the name of the constitution and the Bible, which are disregarded and trampled upon, dare to call in question and to denounce, with all the emphasis I can command, everything that serves to perpetuate slavery—…”
If you look at them carefully you see the following. The first answer isn't correct as well as the second because they are stating his reasoning and the question is asking for SUPPORT for his reasoning. The last one isn't correct because it is stating what he will do which isn't relevant to the situation
The answer is C. “There are seventy-two crimes in the State of Virginia, which, if committed by a black man, (no matter how ignorant he be), subject him to the punishment of death; while only two of the same crimes will subject a white man to the like punishment.”
Thank you so, so, so, so much!
