President Kennedy's phrase "the bonds of injustice" refers to the social and economic oppression of the slaves' heirs. (option C)

<h3>What are "the bonds of injustice"?</h3>

First, it is important to understand the context given by the passage. President Kennedy is talking about the slaves who were freed by President Lincoln, and then he moves on to their heirs, that is, to all African Americans.

When President Kennedy mentions that those heirs are not freed from "the bonds of injustice," he means that African Americans still face social and economic oppression, that they are still not treated equally.

With the information above in mind, we can select option C as the correct answer.

Answer:

The letter was calm and restrained.

Tension between the United States and Russia, formerly known as the Union of Soviet Socialists States were on the rise. From the rocket race, to the missiles race, the tensions between the two countries kept escalating. In the wake of the events, one of the potentially dangerous events was the Cuban missile crisis. Russia thought to build a missile base in Cuba. This would present a great danger to the US. In the letter, Kennedy is tentative in his approach. He exercises restraint. In fact, in one of the lines he says, "...I recognize Mr. Chairman, that it was not I who issued the first challenge in this case..." The president distances himself from the provocations that had been sent his his predecessors.
