To support his purpose, Douglass includes words such as "abuse," "barbarity" and "shameless" in this passage of his speech, as explained below.

<h3>What is Douglass' purpose?</h3>

In his speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July," Frederick Douglass has the purpose to lay bare the injustices and inequality in the United States.

In the particular passage we are analyzing here, Douglass accuses the country of being unrivaled when it comes to all the unfairness with which African Americans are treated. To support that, he uses words such as "abuse," "barbarity" and "shameless", which convey his disgust for the actions and attitude of the privileged classes.

With the information above in mind, we can say that Douglass uses the words "abuse," "barbarity" and "shameless" to support his purpose.

The answer choices for this question are the following:

  • "search," "roam," and "found"
  • "monarchies," "reigns," and "nation"
  • "abuse," "barbarity" and "shameless'
  • "Old World," "South America," and "America"
