Hey there!
The answer is A. That slavery was still allowed in a free nation.
One of the things the colonists fought for was freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press along with other things.
However, for hundreds of thousands of slaves torn away from their homes, they had none of these freedoms. They were considered inferior and not people.
A paradox is a statement that seems absurd of self-contradictory, which this statement very much is. If the U.S. is a free nation, then why do hundreds of thousands of people living there have no freedoms, stolen from them by the very people who advocated for their own freedom?
Hope this helps!
<span>The modern civil rights movement grew out of a long history of social protest. In the South, any protest risked violent retaliation. Even so, between 1900 and 1950, community leaders in many Southern cities protested segregation. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the leading civil rights organization of this era, battled racism by lobbying for federal anti-lynching legislation and challenging segregation laws in court.
Hopes this Helps!!!!

Uncle Tom's Cabin was a novel written by Harriet Beecher Stowe about slavery in the south. When people read it, they started to realize and be informed about what slavery was like, so more people started being opposed to slavery (because before this, people in the north tended to not care) and more people became abolitionists.
Well, I'll make a hard guess on this one. it might be the people of France after the revolution. but if you teacher says it's wrong, I'm sorry ok!!
